Exercise 1
Masses at the vertices of a square
Theory used: Moment of inertiaParallel-axis theorem (Steiner's theorem)
Four point masses of each are fixed at the vertices of a square frame of side and negligible mass. Compute the moment of inertia of the system about the axis perpendicular to the plane of the square through the center and about the parallel axis through a vertex.
