An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a mass of mr = 7.42 kg and length L = 4.88 m to a uniform sphere with mass ms = 37.1 kg and radius R = 1.22 m. Note ms = 5mr and L = 4R.
3) What is the moment of inertia of the object about an axis at the center of mass of the object? (Note: the center of mass can be calculated to be located at a point halfway between the center of the sphere and the left edge of the sphere.)
