Problem
A uniform rod of length L can rotate freely about three different axes: (A) an axis perpendicular to the rod through its center, (B) an axis perpendicular to the rod through one end, and (C) an axis along the rod through its center. Rank the rotational inertia about these axes from largest to smallest and briefly justify your ranking.
