    Center of Mass and Inertia Tensor Experimentation

    When considering the experiment in: https://www.physicsforums.com/attachm...8&d=1205872956 Would the stiffness of the wires used not come into play? Also, this would give you the moments of inertia about the principle axis: Ixx, Iyy, Izz How could the remaining factors of the...

    Center of Mass and Inertia Tensor Experimentation

    I have created a static balancing experiment to determine the center of mass of this object. However, I am having trouble creating a "dynamic balancing" project to find the Inertia Tensor. I believe this is most likely due to my lack of understanding of the theory behind what these...

    Center of Mass and Inertia Tensor Experimentation

    Hello All, I am trying to create an experiment to determine the center of mass and inertia tensor of an aribtrary object. This object is small (softball size), and non symmetrical on all axis. I have some thoughts concerning gyroscopes and accelorameters, but am curious to see what thoughts...
