A wire is bent in the shape of an M. Tennis balls, one yellow and one red, are attached on the ends of the wire. The center of the M is balanced on your head with one of the balls directly in front of your face. Rotate your body and you can look at the other ball. The M will not rotate with you because it has Rotational Inertia. | A wire is bent in the shape of an M. Tennis balls, one yellow and one red, are attached on the ends of the wire.

Description:
A wire is bent in the shape of an M. Tennis balls, one yellow and one red, are attached on the ends of the wire. The center of the M is balanced on your head with one of the balls directly in front of your face. Rotate your body and you can look at the other ball. The M will not rotate with you because it has Rotational Inertia.
