A rod has length 0.900 mm and mass 0.500 kgkg and is pivoted at one end. The rod is not uniform; the center of mass of the rod is not at its center but is 0.500 mm from the pivot. The period of the rod's motion as a pendulum is 1.49 ss. What is the moment of inertia of the rod around the pivot

The moment of inertia is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the rod is  

     The mass of the rod is  

      The distance of the center of mass from the pivot is  

      The period of the rod's motion is  

Generally the period of the motion is mathematically represented as

Where is the moment of inertia about the pivot so making the subject of formula

substituting values

connect the batteries in series and hope

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
