You are a project manager for a manufacturing company. One of the machine parts on the assembly line is a thin, uniform rod that is 60.0 cm long and has mass 0.400 kg. (a) What is the moment of inertia of this rod for an axis at its center, perpendicular to the rod? (b) One of your engineers has proposed to reduce the moment of inertia by bending the rod at its center into a V-shape, with a 60.0° angle at its vertex. What would be the moment of inertia of this bent rod about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the V at its vertex?

As a physics demonstration, a special bowling ball is made so that it can be rotated about its center of mass to get a feel for how "big" a moment of inertia of 1 kg⋅m2 is. The average bowling ball has a weight of 15.4 lbs and a circumference of 26.3 inbut it does not have a moment of inertia equal to 1 kg⋅m2.Since the sporting goods manufacturer has no understanding of how "big" 1 kg⋅m21 is, calculate the diameter ? demo of the demo bowling ball, in inches, that it will need to manufacture. Assume that bowling balls are solid, with a constant density. D of demo required in inches.
