Consider two disks, Disk A and Disk B, rotating independently around the same axis. Each disk has its own moment of inertia ...

Uniform Rod: This implies that the rod has a constant mass distribution along its length. The center of mass is therefore located precisely at the midpoint of the rod. Rigid Rod: This means that the ...

Reducing the moment of inertia improves the sensitivity of a mechanically based torque sensor, the parallel of reducing the mass of a force sensor, yet the correspondingly small displacements can be ...
