Moment of Inertia of an object rotating about its center of mass??
An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a mass of m = 6 kg and length L = 4 m to a uniform sphere with mass M = 30 kg and radius R = 1 m.
What is the moment of inertia of the object about an axis at the center of mass of the object and about an axis at the right edge of the sphere?
Parallel Axis Theorem
I=Icm+MD^2
I=Irod+Iball
I=(1/12)mL^2+(2/5)MR^2 =44.6959Please help :)
