$A$ solid hemisphere and a hemispherical shell are joined as shown. Both of them have a mass of $m/2$ individually. Find the moment of inertia about the axis $AB$.

$A$ straight rod of length $L$ is made of a material having mass per unit length $m(x) = \lambda|x|$, where $x$ is measured from the center of the rod. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end of the rod is to be calculated. Given $L = 1 \ m$ and $\lambda = 16 \ kg/m^2$.
