Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equally spaced along a long, stiff wire of neglible mass. the distance between any two adjacent masses is ℓ . m m m m ℓ ℓ ℓ what is the rotational inertia icm of this system about its center of mass?
a.) (1/2)ml^2
b.) ml^2
c.) 5ml^2
d.) 6ml^2
e.) 2ml^2
f.) 3ml^2
g.) 7ml^2
h.) 4ml^2.

C

Explanation:

Given

Four masses are attached to the wire such that distance between two mass is L

therefore the Length of wire is 4 L

and the center of mass is at 2L

moment of inertia is distribution of mass from its rotational axis

thus moment of Inertia I is given by

the simple machine has three main features. they are:

fulcrum is the center point or pivot point of the machine. effort is input force/ applied force. load is external force/ output.

the keisha 's machine labels are

x : load

y: fulcrum

z: lever
