    How do I find the Moment of Inertia?

    Homework Statement In this experiment a physical pendulum consisting of a rod and two large rubber stoppers (on top of each other) is swung from a point 1 mm from the end point. Calculate the moment of inertia of the pendulum about the point of suspension? Data: m=mass of rod=97.1 g...

    How Do You Calculate the MOI for a Rod with a Mass Attached?

    Sorry about the somewhat extreme thread but I'm sort of desperate. I missed nearly the whole rotation unit cause of illness and I need to find the MOI for a lab that's due tomorrow. I'm confused about what to plug in where. The lab goal is to find the MOI of a rod of uniform density swinging...
