Consider an adiabatic container divided into two chambers by a movable, heat-conducting wall. One side contains a monatomic ideal gas, while the other contains a diatomic ideal gas. Initially, both gases are at the same temperature and pressure. Over time, the wall moves until a new...

Thank you for your response and the helpful clarification! I appreciate you pointing out that the mass distribution doesn’t affect how external torque influences angular momentum—it really helps to simplify the concept. I checked out the link on torque-free precession, and it’s fascinating how...

Hello. I'm studying rotation in classical mechanics, and I have a question about how the mass distribution of an asymmetric body affects angular momentum when external forces, such as torques, are applied off the center of mass. I know that the moment of inertia depends on the mass and the axis...
