Question
What is the triangle’s moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the screen and passing through point O? Point G?
The image depicts a triangular frame made from wire, which has a mass per unit length of 0.4 kg/m. The triangle's sides are each of length \( s = 89 \) mm. The triangle is suspended from a point \( O \) at its top vertex, and point \( G \) represents the centroid of the triangle.

### Diagram Details:
- **Points**: The triangle is labeled with points \( A \), \( B \), and \( O \).
- **Angles**: The internal angles at points \( A \) and \( B \) are each \( 60^\circ \).
- **Dimensions**:
  - The horizontal distance along the base \( AB \) is labeled as \( s \).
  - The vertical distance from the base to the vertex \( O \) is labeled as \( \overline{y} \).

### Additional Details:
- The triangle is equilateral, with all angles being \( 60^\circ \) degrees.
- The size of the suspension ring at \( O \) is considered negligible in calculations.
