A hole is drilled through the narrow end of a 0.940-kg baseball bat, and the bat is hung on a nail so that it can swing freely. The bat is 0.820 m long, the hole is drilled 0.0300 m from the end, and the center of mass is located 0.640 m from the end. The period of oscillation is 1.80 s.
(a) What is the bat's rotational inertia about the pivot?
(b) What is the bat's rotational inertia about the center of mass?
(c) If the hole had been drilled 0.250 m from the end, what would the period be?
