To anyone who may stumble upon this thread.. I figured out my equation is indeed correct for this specific problem. Because there is two rods with the same mass and length, in order to find the correct equation and answer I used Steiner's parallel axis theorem, according to which: Moment of...

Homework Statement Hey, just wanted to ask a quick question about how to find the moment of inertia of two rods (of equal mass and length) attached together in a T shape (the axis is at the bottom of the vertical rod). My calculations got the correct result but I just wanted to check whether my...
