a. Find the coordinates of the center of mass.

b. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

 

The objective here is to calculate the center of mass of a four mass connected system of masses each connected by massless rigid rods as given in the figure in the problem statement. Also, need to calculate the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane of these masses and passing through one of the masses.
