The Moment of Inertia of a Tennis Racket.
Brody, Howard
Physics Teacher, v23 n4 p213-16 Apr 1985
Presents information on the moment of inertia of a tennis racket about its principal axes. This information (not available from conventional sources) is useful since it influences how the racket plays and how the racket feels when it is swung. In addition, measurements of motion can be easily made by undergraduate students. (JN)
