Oh okay I just read the problem over again and that makes sense now. Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes but in this case h does not equal L because the axis of rotation is not at the edge of the disk it is somewhere between the center of mass and the edge of the disk.

Homework Statement Figure (a) shows a disk that can rotate about an axis at a radial distance h from the center of the disk. Figure (b) gives the rotational inertia I of the disk about the axis as a function of that distance h, from the center out to the edge of the disk. The scale on the I...
