Homework Statement In the diagram, Disk 1 has a moment of inertia of 4.40 kg · m2 and is rotating in the counterclockwise direction with an angular speed of 7.50 rad/s about a frictionless rod passing through its center. A second disk rotating clockwise with an angular speed of 9.50 rad/s falls...

Okay I'm getting a little confused. So I=Icm +Md^2? Would I use Icm = 1/12ML^2 for the center of mass? thenMd^2 would d=1m since that would be the distance from the end of the rod to the center?

Okay so I would add that to the moment of inertia I had found for the stick then multiply by the angular velocity?

Is that I=Icm +Md^2?

Homework Statement A 2.0-m measuring stick of mass 0.175 kg is resting on a table. A mass of 0.500 kg is attached to the stick at a distance of 74.0 cm from the center. Both the stick and the table surface are frictionless. The stick rotates with an angular speed of 5.30 rad/s. (a) If the...
