Estimate the total rotational kinetic energy of two hands

Reference no: EM13547178

A large tower clock like Big Ben, the Parliment Clock in London, has an hour hand 2.70 m long with a mass of 54.5 kg, and a minute hand 4.25 m long with a mass of 100 kg. Calculate the total rotational kinetic energy of the two hands about the axis of rotation. (You may model the hands as long thin uniform rods.)
