Moment of inertia of different bodies, parallel/perpendicular axis
Ring, disc, spheres and rods under a constant torque. Compare I = kmR², move the axis to test the parallel-axis theorem, and see α = τ/I and rotational KE.

What you do in the lab
Change the controls and watch the physics behave in real time in 3D. Live readouts and graphs show the numbers behind it, and the Learn tab has the theory, procedure, observations and viva questions. Works on a phone or a laptop, in English and Hindi.
