Question 1186508: The moment of inertia for a point mass m at a distance R from the axis of rotation (such as a rotating planet) is Four identical spheres of mass 2.0 kg each and radius 0.25 m are situated at the four corners of a square. The square measures 3.00 m on a side. 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 2 masses along one side of a plane. d) in the plane running diagonally through 2 masses.
