A uniform rod of mass M and length L with two possible axes of rotation.
A uniform rod of mass M and length L with two possible axes of rotation.
A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) has a rotational inertia \(I_{cm}\) about an axis through its center of mass that is perpendicular to the rod. A student decides to rotate the rod instead about a new axis that is parallel to the original axis but passes through one of the rod's ends. Which of the following expressions correctly represents the rotational inertia of the rod about the new axis, \(I_{new}\)?
