Question

This quantity can be measured with a trifilar pendulum. Diagonal elements of this quantity’s tensor correspond (15[1])to stable (15[1])axes by the tennis racket theorem. (15[3])This quantity for any point can be calculated from its value for the center of mass using the parallel axis theorem. This quantity is equal to ⅖ times M times R squared (15[1])for a solid sphere. For a (*) point mass, this quantity equals mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis. Angular acceleration times this quantity gives the torque, (10[1])and angular velocity times this quantity gives angular momentum. For 10 points, name this rotational analogue of mass, (10[1])denoted I. ■END■ (0[1])
