I'll look into these terms more thoroughly and repost at a later date if nessesary. Thanks for the reply.

If a rotating 40 lb. mass has a non rotating 1 lb. mass instantly added to it's central axis, how much will the rotating mass slow down? Secondly, all else equal, does the rotational speed change the proportionality with which the smaller mass slows the larger (inverse square or some such law)?
