Moment of Inertia of thin rod

The video tutorial explains the concept of moment of inertia for a uniform thin rod about its endpoint. It begins with a revision of the moment of inertia formula and defines the variables R and DM in the context of a thin rod. The tutorial then walks through the calculation of the moment of inertia using integration, considering the rod as a one-dimensional object. Finally, it simplifies the expression by relating it to the total mass of the rod, resulting in the formula 1/3 ML^2.

How do you derive the moment of inertia of a thin rod from the integral of X squared?

Discuss the significance of the point about which the moment of inertia is calculated.

What is the final expression for the moment of inertia of a thin rod about its end point?
