Design and develop an apparatus for measurement of inertial properties for a typical two-wheel motorcycle

The inertial properties, both translational and rotational, of an object subjected to motions are crucial information for understanding its dynamics during operation and also design of various practical engineering applications. In the present study, a simple low cost apparatus together with the ass...
