An object consists of four small spheres attached to the ends of two thin rods that are connected perpendicularly at their centers, forming a cross. Assume each sphere has a mass of m and a radius that is negligible compared to the distance R that each is from the cross’s center (in other words, we can model each as if it were a particle), and that each rod has a mass of m/2. What is a for this object for rotations around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the cross is _____   for rotations around an axis that goes along one of the rods is _____ (Hint: The object’s total mass is not m.)

Question

An object consists of four small spheres attached to the ends of two thin rods that are connected perpendicularly at their centers, forming a cross. Assume each sphere has a mass of m and a radius that is negligible compared to the distance R that each is from the cross’s center (in other words, we can model each as if it were a particle), and that each rod has a mass of m/2.

What is a for this object

  • for rotations around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the cross is _____

 

  • for rotations around an axis that goes along one of the rods is _____ (Hint: The object’s total mass is not m.)
