I'm not quite sure what you mean by check your units. Are you saying plug in M/V for gamma? But then won't I have V in the final answer, which isn't allowed?

I=int r^2dm I know that r=L/2, so I substitute that into get I=int (L^2)/4 dm. I then use my answer from the previous part and solve for L; I get (2M/gamma)^1/2. Plugging that into the earlier equation, I now have I=int M/(2*gamma)dm. I can pull out 1/(2*gamma) so that I have I=(1/2*gamma) int...

Hi. I'm having trouble with moment of inertia in general, and so I have questions about two problems (I tried using latex, but it didn't seem to be loading properly). The first problem: Homework Statement A slender rod with length L has a mass per unit length that varies with distance...
