For instance, once a skater leaps into the air, they’re stuck with however much angular momentum they’ve created. But a ...

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...

While weight and mass might affect how fast an objects falls, moment of inertia is the key to speed today! Much like a figure skater pulling their limbs in to speed up a spin, the more mass an object ...

In a state of bewilderment one fine day, I asked a group of three mechanical engineers at this company where I was then employed if they could please explain to me the concept of “moment of inertia”.

Gymnastics is an extremely difficult sport, but some people make it look easy. Step forward Simone Biles, who hit a Yurchenko double pike—considered the “hardest vault in the world”—during the ...
