a light meter rod has two point masses each of 2 kg . fixed at its ends .if the system rotates about its axis centre of mass with an angular speed of 0.5 rad /sec ,find its rotational kinetic energy 
pllzzz solve with the help of a diagram 
 

Dear Student
As the rod is light hence moment of inertia of rod is ignored hence the rotational energy is due to  two point mass only

k= 2×12Iω2=Iω2=mr2ω2=2×14×14=18=0.25J
