Question
**Title: Calculating Center of Mass and Moment of Inertia**

**Objective:**
- (*) Calculate the center of mass for the system composed of objects positioned along a massless rod.
- (**) Calculate the moment of inertia for the system if an axis of rotation is located at the 1 m mark.

**Diagram:**

- The system consists of three masses arranged on a straight, massless rod:
  - A 3 kg mass is located at 0.5 meters.
  - A 12 kg mass is located at 1.0 meters.
  - A 9 kg mass is located at 1.5 meters.

**Center-of-Mass Options:**

A. 1.196 m  
B. 1.038 m  
C. 0.8676 m  
D. 0.8173 m  
E. 1.240 m  
F. 1.028 m  

**Moment of Inertia Options:**

A. 11.04 kg·m²  
B. 11.50 kg·m²  
C. 9.270 kg·m²  
D. 9.040 kg·m²  
E. 9.226 kg·m²  
F. 8.638 kg·m²  

**Explanation:**

- **Center of Mass Calculation:**
  The center of mass is obtained by taking the weighted average of the positions of the masses.

- **Moment of Inertia Calculation:**
  The moment of inertia about an axis is calculated using the formula \( I = \sum m_i \times r_i^2 \), where \( m_i \) is the mass and \( r_i \) is the distance from the axis of rotation. Here, calculate the moment of inertia with respect to the axis at the 1 m mark.

Ensure to verify calculations based on the mass positions and given options.
