6. Two masses m, = 3.60 kg and m2 = 5.75 kg are connected by a thin rod of negligible mass with a length of 2.55 m, as shown below. 2.55 m mi m2 3.60 kg (0,0) 5.75 kg a) If we assume m, is located at x = 0 m, where is the center of mass of the system? (10 points) b) If the rod is rotated about this center of mass, as shown below, then what is the moment of inertia of the system? (Remember that the rod is essentially massless, so you can treat the system as two point masses.) (10 points) mi m2 3.60 kg (0,0) 5.75 kg XCM
