A thin rod of uniform cross section is made up of two sections made of wood and steel. The wooden section has length $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ and mass $0.6 \mathrm{~kg}$. The steel section has length $30 \mathrm{~cm}$ and mass $3 \mathrm{~kg}$. Find the moment of inertia of the rod about a transverse axis passing through the junction of the two sections.
