Chapter 10, Problem 5CQ
The moment of inertia of a long rod spun around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length is ML2/3 Why is this moment of inertia greater than it would be if you spun a point mass M at the location of the center of mass of the rod (at L/2)? (That would be ML2/4.)

Consider the system shown below where four point masses are connected to each other by massless rods. Two of the masses are ?=9kgm=9kg and the other two have the masses of ?=6kgM=6kg. If ?=1.4ma=1.4m, ?=0.5mb=0.5m and the system rotates about ?−z−axis, determine the moment of inertia of the system. Express your answer in units of kg⋅m2kg⋅m2 using one decimal place.
Lily is a 50 kg diver. At the instant of takeoff, her angular momentum about her longitudinal axis is 20 kgm2/s. Her radius of gyration about the longitudinal axis is 0.4 m at this instant. During the dive, Lily tucks and reduces her radius of gyration about the longitudinal axis to 0.2 m.
