The moment of inertia of an object depends on the

The moment of inertia of an object depends on the The moment of inertia of an object depends on the choice of rotation axis, as suggested by the parallel-axis theorem. Argue that an axis passing through the center of mass of an object must be the axis with the smallest moment of inertia. Is this […]
