Figure 8-59 illustrates an molecule. The bond O___H length

QUESTION:

Figure  illustrates an \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) molecule. The \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond length is  and the \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds make an angle of \(104^{\circ}\). Calculate the moment of inertia for the \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) molecule about an axis passing through the center of the oxygen atom (a) perpendicular to the plane of the molecule, and  in the plane of the molecule, bisecting the \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds.
