A uniform thin rod of mass M = 3.27 kg pivots about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its length. Two small bodies, each of mass m = 0.239 kg, are attached to the ends of the rod. What must the length L of the rod be so that the moment of inertia of the three-body system with respect to the described axis is I = 0.905 kg⋅m2? L =
