What are the factors on which the magnitude of the moment of inertia depends?
(N/A) The moment of inertia $(I)$ of a rigid body depends on the following factors:
$1$. Mass of the body: The moment of inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the body.
$2$. Distribution of mass: It depends on how the mass is distributed relative to the axis of rotation. If more mass is concentrated farther from the axis,the moment of inertia increases.
$3$. Position and orientation of the axis of rotation: The moment of inertia changes if the axis of rotation is shifted or its orientation is changed relative to the body.
