Design and carry out experiments to determine the moment of inertia of (a) a homogeneous slender bar, such as a meter stick and (b) a soccer ball or basketball. For the slender bar compare your experimental values for the moments of inertia the theoretical value I = 1/12 ml ² for a slender bar of length l. For the ball, compare your experimental values with the theoretical value I = 2/3 mR ² for a thin spherical shell of radius R. Investigate the repeatability of your experimental methods Write a brief report describing your experiments. discussing possible sources of error, and presenting your resat
