Three small steel balls are connected by rigid, very light rods as shown in the figure. What is the moment of inertia if the object rotates about the x-axis? If we apply a force of 200. N to the most massive ball such that the object will rotate counterclockwise about the x-axis, what angular acceleration will result? 4.00 kg 0 2.00 kg 3.00 kg y = 3.00 m x y = -2.00 m y = -4.00 m
