문제 11

Determine the gravitational potential energy of a rod-cylinder system where a thin, uniform rod of length L and mass M is aligned along an axis and a small uniform cylinder with mass m located a distance y from one end of the rod along the same axis. Assume y is significantly greater than L. Take the potential energy to be zero when the rod and cylinder are infinitely separated.


Diagram showing a uniform rod of length L and mass M with a cylinder of mass m positioned a distance y above it.
