- Purpose
- To show how you can change rotational speed by changing rotational inertia, while conserving angular momentum.
- Location
- Room 136, on the stainless steel cart shelves V1 & V3
(Caution: Platform is heavy.)
- Description
- Start a student rotating VERY SLOWLY while standing on the platform holding two cylindrical masses in their outstretched hands.
