Metal would be a better conductor cause electricity can travel easier through it
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the object, m = 1.30 kg
Length of the rod, L = 0.780 m
Angular speed, 
Now,
(a) To calculate the rotational inertia of the system about the axis of rotation:
Since, the rod is mass less, the moment of inertia of the rotating system and that of the object about the rotation axis will be equal:

(b) To calculate the applied torque required for the system to rotate at constant speed:
Drag Force, F = 

The correct answer to this question is false
Answer:
M = 0.730*m
V = 0.663*v
Explanation:
Data Given:

Conservation of Momentum:

Energy Balance:

Substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1

Using Eq 1
