Question: Consider that this three - person system can be treated as an equilat - eral triangle, with a player positioned at each of the corners.

Consider that this three-person system can be treated as an equilat-
eral triangle, with a player positioned at each of the corners. (see Fig. 1).
What is the systems moment of inertia (MOI) when the axis is perpendicular
to the player with the greatest mass (their masses are 120,108, and 97 kg
each)? The spacing between each pair is 106 cm.(Hint: the MOI is going to
be larger than examples we did in class because of the larger masses we are
dealing with.)
