Similarities and difference between mass and moment of inertia

A

Mass and MI remain constant.
But unlike mass, MI depends on position of axis of rotation, shape and size of the body, and distribution of mass about the axis of rotation.

Q

How are flywheels and grinding wheels designed?

A

Flywheel: more mass distributed near the rim that at centre region near the axis. Also large diameter. So, MI increases.

Grinding wheel : large mass, moderate diameter. So, MI large, maintains motion and does not stop quickly when set into motion.
