1. Consider two pendulums of identical total mass, each consisting of a rod of length L and a small ball that is attached to one end of the rod. The other end of the rod is attached to the ceiling and can freely pivot in order to form the pendulums. In pendulum A, all of the mass is concentrated in the little ball, and the rod has neg- ligible mass. In pendulum B, the mass is evenly distributed between the rod and the ball attached at the end. A. Which pendulum will experience a larger torque due to gravity? Explain. B. Which pendulum has higher rotational inertia? Explain. C. Which pendulum will have a shorter period? Explain. Note I am not looking for lots of equations. Just sentences in English.
