Moments of Inertia:  1. If you have a rod with mass M and total length L rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its length, what is the moment of inertia of the system? If you now attach a small lump of putty of mass m to the rod at distance r from the axis of rotation, what is the moment of inertia of the whole system?
