Consider a rope of mass M and length L rotating on top of a table in a horizontal plane. One of the ends of the rope is fixed and does not move. The rope moves in a circle with angular frequency w. What is the kinetic energy of the rope?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you an integrate and do a whole load of things but simplest is \(\frac{1}{2}I \omega^2\) with I taken about the end of the rope that is fixed just treat it as a rod.
