Four identical spheres of masses 2.0 kg each and radius 0.25 m are situated at the four corners of a square. One side of the square measures 3.00 m. Find the moment of inertia about an axis (a) passing through the center of the square and perpendicular to its plane, (b) passing through one of the masses and perpendicular to its plane, (c) passing through two adjacent masses parallel to the plane, and (d) in the plane running diagonally through two meters

Four identical spheres of masses 2.0 kg each and radius 0.25 m are situated at the four corners of a square.

One side of the square measures 3.00 m. Find the moment of inertia about an axis (a) passing through the

center of the square and perpendicular to its plane, (b) passing through one of the masses and perpendicular

to its plane, (c) passing through two adjacent masses parallel to the plane, and (d) in the plane running

diagonally through two meters.
