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.
