Question

The er shown consists of a head (with a a high mass) and a handle (with a much, much lower ass), Points P. O, L N, and M represent possible axes of rotation which are cular to the s and evenly spaced. Point Ois at the exact middle o the head, and point Lis at the exact middle of the handle. Treating the head of the hammer as a point and the handle as a straight, thin rod, rank the rotational inertia of the hammer about the various axes. reatest est View Solution Check Answer 0 Next AExit Previous Give up &

Explanation / Answer

Note that the closer the mass to the axis, the lesser the rotational inertia (I).

Thus, we want the axes closest to the head of the hammer as the smallest I. Thus:

GREATEST.

M
N
P
L
O

SMALLEST.
