Introductory Moment of Inertia and Rotational Kinetic Energy Problem (7:57)
|
Three 20.0-gram masses are 9.4 cm from an axis of rotation and rotating at 152 revolutions per minute. What is the moment of inertia of the three-object system? The strings holding the masses are of negligible mass. Rotational Kinetic Energy is also solved for and correct units are determined.
