1. Homework Statement
A meter stick of mass .44 kg rotates, in the horizontal plane, about a vertical axis passing thru the 30 cm mark. What is the moment of inertia of the stick? Treat it as a long uniform rod.
2. Homework Equations
I=1/2M(R^2)
3. The Attempt at a Solution
=1/2(.44)(.3^2)
Once I calculate this, is the the problem complete? It seems too simple.
