Question
A uniform, thin rod of length L and mass M is allowed to pivot about its end. The rotational inertia of a rod about its end is ML2/3. The rod is fixed at one end and allowed to fall from the horizontal position through the vertical position. The student has a variety of rods of various lengths that all have a uniform mass distribution. Design an experiment that the student could conduct to find an experimental value of g.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that :
length of the thin rod = L
mass = m
The rotational inertia I =
The experimental design that the student can use to conduct the experimental value of g can be determined as follow:
Taking the integral value of I
where :
where:
Equating:
; we have:
where :
L = horizontal axis
