A broom handle has a length of 1.67m and a mass of 580g with the axis rotation through the center. (what is this problem asking me to do?)

2 answers

It may have asked for the moment of inertia, I. In this case it would be
(1/12)(0.58 kg)*(1.67 m)^2

The moment of inertia measured the intertial resistance to rotation, and the energy associated with rotary motion.
THE ANSWER WILL BE ABOUT .1348
