String is wrapped around an object of mass M = 0.3 kg and moment of inertia I = 0.01 kg·m2. You pull the string with your hand straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (see the figure). This is like a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0 = 0.26 m...

moment of inertia of a rod
Starting with the formula for the moment of inertia of a rod rotated around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length (I=M ℓ² / 3), prove that the moment of inertia of a rod rotated about an axis through its center perpendicular to its length is I=M ℓ² / 12. You will find the graphics in Figure 10.12 useful in visualizing these rotations.
