Hmm, I see.
The equation for moment of inertia at end of rod is Iend = mL2/3
Therefore, Iend = 1.33 kgm2
From my understanding of using the parallel axis theorem to calculate moment of inertia of a system, one would simply add up the inertias.
Isystem = Icom + Iend of rod + Ipoint...
First off, I want to apologize for posting more than one question. I just discovered this site, so I wanted to check my work while I am able to. Thank you again.

Homework Statement
A pendulum is composed of a thin rod of length L = 50 cm, a moment of inertia of I = 0.2kgm2 with respect to its center and mass M = 400g. Attached to the bottom of the rod is a point mass (m = 200g). The pendulum swings in a vertical plane, attached by the top end to the...
