Problem 5) Moment of inertia of a rod [4 points] Find the moment of inertia I of a thin rod of length L and mass M a) spinning around the center axis; b) spinning around the end. T Hint: Put the rod on the x -axis and use 1 = S [P(x)]?dx where p(x) is the radial distance rod from the rotation axis of the point x along the rod. u. = M/L is the mass per length of the rod.
