A 2 kg mass and a6 kg mass are attached toeither end of a 3 m longmassless rod.

a.) Find the center of mass of the system.
m, from the 2 kg mass.

Find the rotational inertia (I) of the system when rotatedabout:
b.) the end with the 2 kg mass.
kg m2
c.) the end with the 6 kg mass.
kg m2
d.) the center of the rod.
kg m2
e.) the center of mass of the system.
kg m2
(Compare this to parts b-d. Is this what youexpect?)

f.) If the system is rotated about the center ofmass by a force of 6 N actingon the 6 kg mass,(perpendicular to the rod), what will the size of the angularacceleration of the system be?
rad/s2
