As shown in Figure 2, a small square mass m connected to a massless rod moves in a circle of radius r with constant velocity v. In the following, approximate the square mass m as a point mass. a) Express the kinetic energy of the square mass in terms of angular velocity ω, r, and m. (Hint: In circular motion, how is ω related to v?) b) If we express the kinetic energy as K=1/2Iω^2, what is I for System 1?
