Calculate the moment of inertia of the array of point objects shown in Fig. 8-47 about

(a) The y axis, a
(b) The x axis. Assume m = 2.2 kg, M = 3.4 kg, and the objects are wired together by very light, rigid pieces of wire. The array is rectangular and is split through the middle by the x axis.
(c) About which axis would it be harder to accelerate this array?
