This work explores the significant properties of spinning bodies. Optimizing spinning disks is the primary aim of this work. Optimization is achieved by manipulating the moment of inertia (MOI) of the disk, allowing a longer duration of spin and lowering the rate of energy dissipation. Experiments are designed and conducted to explore the relationship between the radius and mass distribution of the disk and the angular deceleration experienced by it. Effects of the same on energy retention is analyzed. Empirical data is interpreted graphically while accounting for systematic and random uncertainties. Percentage change in duration of spin as a result of percentage change in physical quantities is studied. Moving mass away from the central axis of the spinning disk increases its duration of spin from a constant initial angular velocity. Energy retention is also improved. Increasing the radius of the disk increases the duration of spin and reduces the rate of energy dissipation. The above conclusions are drawn from experiments where the mass and thickness of the disk are controlled along with other necessary factors that can influence the results. The experiments confirm the existing theory relating to the moment of inertia, angular quantities, resistive torques and kinetic energy of spinning disks. The experiments provide insights into the behavior of spinning disks in practical situations, especially in problems concerned with optimization in the field of mechanical engineering. 2026 Veeresha et al., published by Paradigm.
