Example: An engineer is designing a one-piece machine part consisting of three heavy connectors linked by light molded struts. The connectors can be considered as massive particles connected by massless rods. a) What is the moment of inertia of this body about an axis through point A, perpendicular to the plane of the diagram? b) What is the moment of inertia about an axis coinciding with rod BC? (see page 277) Example: A slender uniform rod with mass M and length L. It might be a baton held by a twirler in a marching band. Compute its moment of inertia about an axis through center of mass poi
