Rotattional Inertia of a two-particle system

a-) What is the rotational inertia ( lcom) about an axis throgh the center of mass perpendicular to the rod as shown in  figure (a)? 

b-) What is the rotational inertia of the body about an axis through the left end of the rod and parallel to the first axis as shown in figure (b)?

Rotation axis
through
center of mass
com
(a)
Here the rotation axis is through the com.
Rotation axis through
end of rod
com
L-
(b)
Here it has been shifted from the com
without changing the orientation. We
can use the parallel-axis theorem.
Fig. 10-13 A rigid body consisting of two particles of mass m
joined by a rod of negligible mass.
