Question: Consider the mass distribution shown in ( Figure 1 ) . Assume ( m = 2 . 2 mathrm { ~kg } ,

Consider the mass distribution shown in (Figure 1). Assume \( m=2.2\mathrm{~kg}, M=5.2\mathrm{~kg}\), 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.
Calculate the moment of inertia of the array of point objects about the \( y \) axis.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
