Problem

Four point masses are fixed to a light rod at perpendicular distances of 0.05 m, 0.10 m, 0.15 m and 0.20 m from an axis through one end of the rod and perpendicular to it. Their respective masses are 0.20 kg, 0.30 kg, 0.25 kg and 0.15 kg. Calculate the total moment of inertia of the system about the given axis.
