A thin stick of length L = 1.6 m is denser at one end than at the other: Its mass density is = (0.40 kg/m) - (0.03 kg/m2)x, where x measures the distance from the heavier end of the stick. The stick rotates with period T = 1 s about an axis perpendicular to the stick through the heavy end. Determine the rotational kinetic energy, KR of the stick.
