4. A rod is L meters long and the center of mass of the rod is at the point L meters from the left end. If the measure of the linear density at a point is proportional to a power of the measure of the distance of the point from the left end and the linear density at the right end is 20 kg/m, find the linear density at a point x meters from the left end.

Let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule now have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y axis. The first atom has a mass of 9.199 kg, with x coordinate at 3.655 m and y coordinate at 8.442 m. The second atom has a mass of 41.619 kg, with x coordinate at 76.902 m and y coordinate at 57.706 m. The third atom has a mass of 39.818 kg, with x coordinate at 39.495 m and y coordinate at 25.9 m. What is the moment of inertia in unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
