A square frame is assembled from four identical thin sticks of length 

A square frame is assembled from four identical thin sticks of length a. The total mass of the frame is M. Find the moments of inertia of the frame for the following axes of rotation: (a) axis through a corner perpendicular to the frame (b) axis in the plane of the frame along its side (c) axis through the centre parallel to frame side (d) axis through the centre and two corners of the frame (a) NB: Any applicable theorems can be used, with a clear formulation and argumentation. If required, find some relevant moment of inertia by integration (e)
