This isn't actually a homework problem, but I am still posting it here. I am confused by rotational inertia. How does mass distribution affect rotational inertia? Because I know it should, but I don't know how it would.

Homework Statement A meter stick (thus, the length of the stick is exactly 1 meter!) is supported by two supports. Support A is located at the 20-cm mark, and support B is at the 68-cm mark. You can assume that the mass of the meter stick is uniformly distributed along the length of the stick...

I changed it, could you look over it again?

Homework Statement Here is my assignment: For this inquiry, you will be using your meter stick, some string, some weights of known mass, and the spring force gauge from your kits. Here's the question to answer: what is the mass of the meter stick? You can't measure the mass directly! That's...
