Two spheres are attached to a rod. The rod and sphere can rotate about a vertical rod (along the z axis). The rod has a mass of mrod?=0.7kg and a length of Irod?=49cm. The spheres have a mass of msphere ?=5kg and a radius of rsphere ?=13cm. 1. Find the Mass Moment of Inertia of the left system (rod + spheres) about the axis Z. 2. Find the radius of the rings needed to get the same Mass Moment of Inertia. The mass of the ring are mring ?=5kg. Note: if you have a quadratic equation to solve, you are on the right track. In the box below enter the Mass Moment of Inertia of one of the systems in kg.cm2. Give your answer as an integer.
