What is the mass moment of inertia of a uniform slender rod of mass m and length l about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its mass center?
Explanation
This question asks for a standard mass moment of inertia formula. The key is to identify the correct formula for a slender rod about its center, distinguishing it from the formula for an axis at its end.
