The two rotational axes for the uniform rod.
The two rotational axes for the uniform rod.
A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is used in two different experimental setups. In Experiment 1, the rod is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the rod that passes through its center of mass. In Experiment 2, the rod is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the rod that passes through one of its ends. What is the ratio of the rotational inertia of the rod in Experiment 2 to the rotational inertia of the rod in Experiment 1?
