Chapter 10: Problem 10
(a) A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) lies on the \(x\) axis with one end at the origin. Find its moment of inertia for rotation about the \(z\) axis. [Here the sum of (10.25) must be replaced by an integral of the form \(\int x^{2} \mu d x\) where \(\mu\) is the linear mass density, mass/length.] (b) What if the rod's center is at the origin?
