Question
**Problem Statement:**

Find the rotational inertia of the following masses with respect to the *y-axis*:

- \( m_1 = 3.5 \), \( x_1 = 0.8 \), \( y_1 = -1.8 \)

- \( m_2 = 4.0 \), \( x_2 = -2.2 \), \( y_2 = 2.0 \)

- \( m_3 = 5.0 \), \( x_3 = -0.8 \), \( y_3 = 0.4 \)

**Explanation of the Task:**

To find the rotational inertia (moment of inertia) of these masses about the y-axis, use the formula:

\[ I = \sum m_i \cdot x_i^2 \]

where \( m_i \) represents the mass of each point and \( x_i \) is the distance of each mass from the y-axis. Calculate the sum for all the given masses.
