Question

Four-point masses are arranged at the vertices of a rectangle. The masses are connected by rigid massless rods, as shown in the figure. Given that, m = 11 kg and m' = 2.3 kg determine the moment of inertia of the mass distribution about the y-axis that bisects the rectangle into two symmetrical pieces.
