Answer:
I = I₀ + M(L/2)²
Explanation:
Given that the moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is I₀.
The parallel axis theorem for moment of inertia states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass and the square of the distance between the two axes.
The moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is given to be I₀
The distance between the two axes is L/2 (total length of the rod divided by 2
From the parallel axis theorem we have
I = I₀ + M(L/2)²
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (
), and your given distance of
, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using
, is
. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using
, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is
6.405 min.
Not sure.can you give me a clue?
