**Problem 3:** Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of \( m = 5500 \, \text{kg} \) distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance \( r = 48 \, \text{m} \) from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of \( f = 15 \, \text{rpm} \).

### Part (a)
Enter an expression for the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis of rotation, in terms of the defined quantities.

\[ I = \]

(Note: There is an input box with a keypad below available for expression entry.)

### Part (b)
Calculate the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis, in units of kilogram meters squared.

### Part (c)
Enter an expression for the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in terms of the defined quantities.

### Part (d)
Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.
