This lecture covers the concept of rotational motion in two dimensions, focusing on angular momentum, moment of inertia, and the conservation of angular momentum. It explains how the moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution of an object and how changing the distribution affects the rotational motion. The lecture also introduces the concept of torque and discusses the application of the Steiner's theorem in determining the moment of inertia about a parallel axis. Various examples and experiments, such as the rotating stool and variable moment of inertia, are used to illustrate these principles.
