Step 1
Substitute M = 2.0 kg and L = 1.0 m into the formula: I_rod = (1/3) * 2.0 kg * (1.0 m)^2 I_rod = (1/3) * 2.0 kg * 1.0 m I_rod = 2/3 kg m^2 Show more…

Finding the rotational inertia of the system using the picture below.
Ajay S.
A system consists of a point mass m = 0.22 kg and a uniform solid cylinder of mass M_cylinder = 1.8 kg and radius R = 0.4 m attached to both ends of a uniform rigid rod of mass M_rod = 1.8 kg and length L = 2.69 m, as shown in the figure. The system is free to rotate about the y axis, which is at a distance x away from the point mass. The y axis is parallel to the side of the cylinder and perpendicular to the length of the rod. Find the total moment of inertia of the system about the y axis if x = L. Express your answer using two decimal places. The center of mass rotational inertia I_rod = 1/12 ML^2 The center of mass rotational inertia I_cylinder = 1/2 MR^2

Calculate the total moment of inertia of the object consisting of a thin rod of length L = 10 m and mass m = 2 kg, connected to a uniform disk of radius r = 4.4 m and mass M = 6.6 kg. The system is rotating around a fixed axis at one end of the rod, and the center of the disk is fixed at a distance d = 8.4 m from the axis. Note: The figure is not drawn to scale. Round to 1 decimal place. Express your answer in kg m^2.
