Professor Vandiver ,thank you for a beautiful lecture on the Mass Moment of Inertia of Rigid Bodies. These lectures are preparing students for Advanced courses in Mechanical ,Civil and Aerospace Engineering.

thank you mit for the free course.

23:35 I think he is looking for the term Eigenvector?

Thank you mit

We were taught this concept during undergraduate course and it's very important topic for iit entrance exam.

22:18 -> 22:30 no it will not always be dynamically balanced! Rotating a body about its minor or major principal axes will remain dynamically stable. However, rotating a body about its intermediate principal axis will always lead to instabilities. This is demonstrated in the classic tennis racket problem.

What is the physical interpretation of product of inertia ? e.g. in beams the area moment of inertia is resistance to bending and in dynamics mass moment of inertia is resistance to rotation then what does product of inertia means?

What a teacher!!

This is epic!

Super Professor.

What would a proof look like to prove that any object you throw that rotates will do so about the COM

9:54 sounds like "little ass particles"

They teach the topic so much better than my college

great

Grt sir

what is the principal of mass moment of inertia for rigid body? i want answer ,please.

👌

Спутник для увеличения скорости на 10км\ч, потребляет Х кг газа. Почему Х кг газа не может ускорить спутник до 1 миллиона км\ч?

~ 26:10 "Where to put? You want it down here? Oh you want it like this, OK." Oh come on! 😂

nicely done...btw this is an undergraduate course so those who found this awful might needs to brush up their fundamentals , kids ! you didn't understand it because this might be your first lecture in rotational dynmics and guess what - you directly hit to the intermediate level without passing through beginner level ! .. and his explanation is better than my indian instructor !

Has anyone read the short story "the billiard Ball" by Issac Asimov? He uses a pool table and an anti-gravity/inertia ray to remove all of a moving billiard balls momentum, effectively giving it total inertia, pinning it to the Higgs field. causing the ball to instantly disappear from the table, leaving a hole in the professors nemesis, and the wall behind him. The earth moved from the ball This theory has rattled in my head since i read the story in 1981. Why cant this work, and what

It really has little to do with ethnicity. This poor soul simply has a very monotone voice and is quite low energy, but that appeals to certain students, and not others. Some indian professors are so horrendously awful at teaching you wonder how they tricked the faculty into hiring them, while other who are indian are excellent. Generally speaking though the handicap with any foreign professor is their ability to communicate in English, not just their accent. Sometimes it is difficult to explain technical concepts for a foreigner, when they lack the vocabulary necessary.

Not good as Walter Lewin....

Indian teachers can teach far better than this... :(

This was a very boring lecture😏🙄. I wouldn't stay for this lecture it's too much unnecessary information
