A meterstick with a width of 0.03 m is rotated around the one of its ends. If a 0.20 kg spherical metal ball with 0.02 m radius is attached to the other opposite end, what is the moment of inertia and radius of gyration of the meterstick-ball set-up? Assume that the meterstick has negligible mass and thickness. Hint: Itotal = Irod + Isphere Irod =mrodw^2                                                 - rotated at one end Isphere = Icenter of mass + msphere (w+r)^2       - using parallel-axis theorem Isphere = 2/5mspherer^2 + msphere (w+r)^2

A meterstick with a width of 0.03 m is rotated around the one of its ends. If a
0.20 kg spherical metal ball with 0.02 m radius is attached to the other opposite end, what is the moment of inertia and radius of gyration of the meterstick-ball set-up? Assume that the meterstick has negligible mass and thickness.

Hint:

Itotal = Irod + Isphere

Irod =mrodw^2                                                 - rotated at one end

Isphere = Icenter of mass + msphere (w+r)^2       - using parallel-axis theorem

Isphere = 2/5mspherer^2 + msphere (w+r)^2
