Question

The masses are Q=0.400 kg, R=0.200 kg, and S=0.300 kg. Calculate the moment of inertia (of the 3 masses) with respect to an axis perpendicular to the xy plane and passing through x=0 and y=-3. [Since the masses are of small size, you can neglect the contribution due to moments of inertia about their centers of mass.]

Explanation / Answer

Distance of R   from point of rotation axis =   6.324 m

Distance of S from point of rotation axis =   6 m

Distance of Q from point of rotation axis = 3.162 m

=>    moment of inertia =   0.200 * 40   + 0.4 * 10 + 0.300 * 36

                                      = 8 + 4 + 10.8

                                       = 22.8   kg. m2
