A mass, m=1.4 kg of negligible size, is attached at the end of a uniform rod of length L= 0.99 mm which has mass M= 1.9 kg . What is the moment of inertia of this arrangement if it is to rotate at an axis located at a distance 0.39*L from the end of the rod opposite to the mass, m? (At approximately the point marked with an 'X'.)
Calculate the moment of inertia of the rod-mass system given that the moment of inertia of a rod about the center of mass is I=(1/12)* M*L^2
