Physics

An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a massof mr = 7.25 kg and length L = 5.56 m to a uniformsphere with mass ms = 36.25 kg and radius R = 1.39 m.Note ms = 5mr and L = 4R.

1)What is the moment of inertia of the object about an axis atthe left end of the rod?

3) What is the moment of inertia of the object about an axis atthe center of mass of the object? (Note: the center of mass can becalculated to be located at a point halfway between the center ofthe sphere and the left edge of the sphere?

5) What is the moment of inertia of the object about an axis atthe right edge of the sphere?

6)

Compare the three moments of inertia calculated above, fromleast to greatest (or equal)
