Chapter 10, Problem 32SP
Picture a rigid rod of length L having negligible mass. It has two identical tiny spheres both of mass m, one at each end of the rod. Determine the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod passing through its center, in terms of m and L. [Hint: A single point mass (m) has a moment of inertia about an axis a distance r away of mr2. Here L is not r.]

Suppose you have a long, thin rod of length 1.31m that is free to rotate about a fixed end. If the rod's composition is uniform (which means it has the same mass density all along its length), and if the mass of the rod is 0.72kg, what is the rod's moment of inertia (or rotational inertia) in units of kg*m2?
Consider a 10 kg solid cylindrical drum with radius 1 m rotating about its cylindrical axis under the influence of force produced by a 30 kg mass attached to a cord wound around the drum. What is the moment of inertia, torque, and angular acceleration. (I = mr2/2)
A uniform thin rod of mass M = 3.25 kg pivots about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its length. Two small bodies, each mass of M =0.245 kg are attached to the ends of the rod. What must the length L of the rod be so that the moment of inertia of the three-body system with respect to the described axis is I = 0.805 kg *m^2
