1Q10.10 Inertia Wands

The two wands weigh the same, but have different mass distributions. Direct a student to pick up both wands to confirm their weights are the same, then ask hir to twirl them back and forth at the same frequency. The wand with the higher moment of inertia (the one with more writing) will be harder to spin.
