Scalar and vector quantities are also tensor quantities.

Scalar is a zero order tensor while vector is first order tensor.

Stress is a tensor quantity as it requires different planes to define it therefore Moment of inertia is also a tensor.

What is meant by tensor? I have no idea please explain.

Scalar and vector quantities both are tensor.

Stress is tensor So MI is also tensor.

Physical quantities that vary in two different directions are properly described as tensors. I like to visualize tensors as the surface of a cube (similar to visualizing a vector as an arrow) : each face of the cube has 3 directions associated with it- one normal, and two tangential.

I can't understand which definition is actually correct for inertia tensor?

Please explain why it is a tensor quantity?

What do you mean by phasor?

Vivek yadav said:   1 decade ago
Basically inertia is a kind of a force which partionize the object in mirror position(pose).
