Which has the larger inertia
Inertia (I) is calculated as follows:
[tex]I = mr^2[/tex]
Where m represents the mass of the object and r represents the distance from the axis.
Take for instance m = 10 and r = 4
The inertia would be:
[tex]I = 10 * 4^2[/tex]
[tex]I = 160[/tex]
Assume r is constant and m is increased to 25
The inertia becomes:
[tex]I = 25 * 4^2[/tex]
[tex]I = 25 * 16[/tex]
[tex]I = 400[/tex]
Notice that there is an increment in inertia, when the mass increased.
Hence, mass of 50kg will have the larger inertia.
