Problem 1. Determine the rotational inertia of a uniform solid disc of mass M and radius R spinning around its center. (Answer: Idisc = 1/ 2 M ∗ R^2 )
Problem A. uniform thin rod of mass M and length L spins around a central axis that is perpendicular to its length. (a) What is the rotational inertia of this rod about this axis? (b) If this rod has a mass of 48 g and length of 27 cm and it rotates with a period of 0.90 s, what is the rods rotational kinetic energy? (Answer: Ir od = (1/12) ∗ M ∗ L^2 (aboutcenterof rod), K = 0. 007106 J)
Problem A. thin uniform rod of length L and mass M is mounted non-centrally to an axle. Placing the x axis along the rod with the axle along the z axis, the rod extends from x = a to x = +b where a + b = L. (a) By altering the limits of integration in our previous analysis of the thin rod, find the rotational inertia I of the rod about this non-central axle? (b) Derive an alternate form for the result by application of the parallel-axis theorem. (Answers: Ir od = M ∗ (b^3 + a^3 )/(3 ∗ L) = (1/12) ∗ M ∗ L^2 + M ∗ [(b − a)/2]^2 )
