Hey

Here is your answer

Actually, moment of inertia is neither a scalar quantitity nor a vector quantity , it is actually a

Tensor because moment of inertia is given by

I=mr^2 , so monent of inertia depends not only on the mass of particles but also on the distribution of masses about axis of rotation

Hope it helps you!
