A rod attached to the shaft of a motor at the center of the rod so that the rod is perpendicular to the shaft, as in figure a. The motor is turned on and performs work W on the rod, accelerating it to an angular speed ?. The system is brought to rest and the attachment to the rod is then moved along the shaft such that the rod is spun from its end instead, as in figure b. If the controls of the

motor are adjusted such that the rod is accelerated from rest to the same angular speed of ? in this new configuration, how much work does the motor do on the rod in this case?
