A light rod of length ℓ = 1.00 m rotates about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its center as in the figure below. Two particles of masses m1 = 4.95 kg and m2 = 3.00 kg are connected to the ends of the rod. 1. Neglecting the mass of the rod, what is the system's kinetic energy when its angular speed is 2.70 rad/s? 2. Repeat the problem, assuming the mass of the rod is taken to be 2.10 kg.

Question

A light rod of length ℓ = 1.00 m rotates about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its center as in the figure below. Two particles of masses m1 = 4.95 kg and m2 = 3.00 kg are connected to the ends of the rod.

1. Neglecting the mass of the rod, what is the system's kinetic energy when its angular speed is 2.70 rad/s?

2. Repeat the problem, assuming the mass of the rod is taken to be 2.10 kg.
