Question
Figure shows a slender uniform rod with mass M and length L.
It might be a baton held by a twirler in a marching band (without the
rubber end caps). (a) Use integration to compute its moment of inertia
about an axis through O, at an arbitrary distance h from one end.
(b) Initially the rod is at rest. It is given a constant angular acceleration
of magnitude a around the axis through O. Find how much work is
done on the rod in a time t. (c) At time t, what is the linear acceleration
of the point on the rod farthest from the axis?
