I think moment of inertia is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction.

In short, a tensor is basically a "matrix-like" quantity that is independent of any coordinate system, and can be readily expressed in any coordinate system.

Moment of inertia is a type of force and tensor is a unit of force that's why moment of inertia is a tensor.

What is tensor? p/s explain.

D.S.Teja said:   1 decade ago
Tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between vectors, scalars, and other tensors. Examples of such relations include the dot product, the cross product, and linear maps. Vectors and scalars themselves are also tensors.

Please just explain what is tensor? I think rajat is wrong here.

Is pressure is tensor quantity?

Veeru belagali said:   1 decade ago
Moment of inertia is prodct of mass and squre of radius[that is tensile strength]
ie I=mc^2

Tensor: things that have no magnitude and direction. Exampl: time, pressure, moment of inertia.
