I always choke up when I see this picture of the legendary Hank Aaron.(Dad jokes rule!)Even though a baseball bat does not have its mass uniformly distributed along the length, we will make our calculation assuming that the mass is uniformly distributed. We will be calculating the moment of inertia of the baseball bat with a pivot point located at the hands. The Mahogany bat will have a mass and length L. The pitcher throws a baseball with velocity of 86.8 miles per hour straight down the center of the plate. We will take the baseball to have massmballand assume a partially elastic collision. The baseball leaves the bat at an angle of 8 degrees above the horizontal. Mr Aaron grasps the bat so that 40% of the bat is below his hands. The coefficient of static friction between Mahogany and cow hide is 0.08. It is a very hot day (100degrees Fahrenheit) and so the drag coefficient in air is reduced to0.017. We shall assume that the baseball remains in contact with the bat for a time interval of 0.38 seconds.
