Chapter 2, Problem 17Q(choose chapter or problem)
The moment of inertia of a rotating solid disk about an axis through its center of mass is \(\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}\) (Fig. ). Suppose instead that the axis of rotation passes through a point on the edge of the disk. Will the moment of inertia be the same, larger, or smaller?
