About This Item

Description

The Variable Inertia Apparatus from GSC demonstrates an abstract concept in an easy-to-understand manner. It consists of two semi-clear plastic discs with the same mass and diameter and hollow, molded compartments inside. The included 19mm steel balls can be placed inside the discs in a variety of configurations. Based on the steel balls' location, the mass distribution will change, and the discs will become either "center heavy" or "rim heavy." Rolling the discs will show the relationship between the placement of mass and the inertial rotation
