a) What is the moment of inertia of this rod for an axis at its center, perpendicular to the rod? Express your answer with the appropriate units. b)One of your engineers has proposed to reduce the moment of inertia by bending the rod at its center into a V-shape, with a 60.0∘∘ angle at its vertex. What would be the moment of inertia of this bent rod about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the V at its vertex?
