Question: The four particles shown below are connected by rigid rods of negligible mass where y 1 = 6 . 4 0 m . The origin

The four particles shown below are connected by rigid rods of negligible mass where y1=6.40 m. The origin is at the center of the rectangle. The system rotates in the xy plane about the z axis with an angular speed of 6.50 rad/s.
Four particles connected by rigid rods in the shape of a rectangle are shown. It lies on an x y-coordinate system with the center of the rectangle at the origin. A 2.00 kg particle lies in the first quadrant, a 3.00 kg particle lies in the second quadrant, a 2.00 kg particle lies in the third quadrant and a 4.00 kg particle lies in the fourth quadrant. The rods which are parallel to the x-axis are of length 4.00 m. The rods which are parallel to the y-axis are of length y1 and are longer than the ones along the x-axis.
(a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the system about the z axis.
