Four small 0.600-kg spheres, each of which you can regard as a point mass, are arranged in a square 0.400 m on a side and connected by light rods. Find the moment of inertia of the system about an axis through the center of the square, perpendicular to its plane at point O.

Answer:

.192 kg x m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I= mass of a times radius of a squared + mass of b times radius of b squared +...

I= .6 kg x .4m^2 + .6 kg x .4m^2

= .192 kg x m^2

Hope this helps :)
