Four small spheres, each of which you can regard as a point of mass 0.400 kg, are arranged in a square 0.700 m on a side and connected by extremely light rods. Find the moment of inertia of the system about an axis (a) through the center of the square, perpendicular to its plane (an axis through point O in the figure); (b) bisecting two opposite sides of the square (an axis along the line AB in the figure); (c) that passes through the centers of the upper left and lower right spheres and through point O. (Note: Change the value in the figure)
