Question
The figure shows three 0.0101 kg particles that have been glued to a rod of length L=5.58 cm and negligible mass. The assembly can
rotate around a perpendicular axis through point O at the left end. If we remove one particle (that is, 33% of the mass), by what
percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease when that removed particle is (a) the
innermost one and (b) the outermost one?
