Problem

An experiment produces a best-fit slope of

0.075\,\text{J}\,(\text{rad/s})^{-2}

on a plot of

K_{\text{rot}}

versus

\omega^2

for a particular object. The object’s theoretical moment of inertia about the same axis is

0.16\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^2

. Determine the percent error of the experimentally determined moment of inertia relative to the theoretical value.
