The masses are Q=0.800 kg, R=0.700 kg, and S=0.400 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.]
