Question #88fd1

Answer 1

`M(a^2/2+d^2)` where `M` and `a` are the mass and radius of the rod, respectively and `d` is the distance of the axis from the central axis of the rod.

Explanation:

This is a simple application of the parallel axis theorem, provided you take the moment of inertial of a rod about its central axis as a known result.
