special relativity - Inertia on relativistic mass when particle is near speed of light


Inertia is directly proportional to mass but what happens when something travel to speed near to light. Its relativistic mass tends to infinity but that is false mass so I want to know if inertia is applied to relativistic mass. Because if we infinite the mass then the inertia would also be infinite then it will never reach speed of light.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
