it's a rigid body.. so the mass of the rod is being ignored

OH that's my mistake, that was a typo it's supposed to be Σmiri2

Well I also tried 1/12 ML2 but that still isn't working.

I think so... I used this website http://socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-find-moment-of-inertia-of-two-point-masses

The question: Consider two masses of 0.1 gm each, connected by a rigid rod of length 0.5 cm, rotating about their center of mass with an angular frequency of 800 rad/s. a.) What is the value of l corresponding to this situation? b.) What is the energy difference between adjacent l-values for the...
