Fixed inertia makes rotational energy grow with spin squared. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.
highlighted = computed this step
One spin unit gives four joules
With inertia fixed at 8, spin 1 gives rotational energy 4 joules.
Krot=1/2×8×12=4
Doubling spin quadruples energy
With inertia fixed at 8, spin 2 gives rotational energy 16 joules.
Krot=1/2×8×22=16
Tripling spin gives nine times the first energy
With inertia fixed at 8, spin 3 gives rotational energy 36 joules.
