Question

you measure the moment of inertia of various objects by dropping them on the rotating cylinder. You were instructed to be sure that the object is concentric with the rotating system. If you drop the object off-center, the value of the moment of inertia will be more than/less than/exactly/Explain your answer to part a.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Explanation / Answer

The moment of inertia will increase, as the distance from the centre increases.

According to Newton's Second Law, = I . TOrque will remain same in this case as a result moving the masses closer to the center reduces the moment of inertia, which increases the angular acceleration and vice versa.
