Design Calculations
The unicycle was hung from a fibular pendulum to measure it's moment of inertia. Calculations based on the period of oscillation indicate that the unicycle has an inertia of approximately 0.19kgm^2. (The previous calculations showed that the inertia would be approximately 0.25kgm^2).
