Jupiter’s moment of inertia: A possible determination by Juno

Determination of the Moment of Inertia of Limb Segment Using a Dynamometer

In this study, we introduced a simple method to determine the moment of inertia using a dynamometer. In order to evaluate the developed method, one male was required to test for his forearm including the hand on a dynamometer. In the process of finding moment of inertia, three different passive speeds, i.e. 240°/s, 270°/s, and 300°/s, were performed to confirm whether the calculated values at t...

Discrete sets with minimal moment of inertia

We analyze the moment of inertia I(S), relative to the center of gravity, of finite plane lattice sets S. We classify these sets according to their roundness: a set S is rounder than a set T if I(S) < I(T). We show that roundest sets of a given size are strongly convex in the discrete sense. Moreover, we introduce the notion of quasi-discs and show that roundest sets are quasi-discs. We use wea...

Moment of inertia, backbending, and molecular bifurcation.

We predict an anomaly in highly excited bending spectra of acetylene with high vibrational angular momentum. We interpret this in terms of a vibrational shape effect with moment of inertia backbending, induced by a sequence of bifurcations with a transition from "local" to "orthogonal" modes.

On the Determination of Moment of Inertia of Prolate Luminescent Molecules

Moment of inertia and superfluidity of a trapped Bose gas.

The temperature dependence of the moment of inertia of a dilute Bose gas confined in a harmonic trap is determined. Deviations from the rigid value, due to the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation, reveal the superfluid behaviour of the system. In the noninteracting gas these deviations become important at temperatures of the order of TcN −1/12. The role of interactions is also discussed. P...
