 Three small spherical masses are located in a plane at the positions shown below. (w) A SA Tries 0/40 3 2 1 

Three small spherical masses are located in a plane at the positions shown below. (w) A A Tries 0/40 3 2 1 201 -5-4-3-2-1 0 1 2 3 4 5 X (m) The masses are Q-0.300 kg, R-0.200 kg, and Sm0.400 kg. Calculate the moment of inertia (of the 3 masses) with respect to an exis perpendicular to the xy plane and passing through x 0 and y-3. (Since the masses are of small size, you can neglect the contribution due to moments of inertia about their centers of mass.)
