Question
![**Problem Statement:**
Find the rotational inertia of the following masses with respect to the *y-axis*:
- \( m_1 = 3.5 \), \( x_1 = 0.8 \), \( y_1 = -1.8 \)
- \( m_2 = 4.0 \), \( x_2 = -2.2 \), \( y_2 = 2.0 \)
- \( m_3 = 5.0 \), \( x_3 = -0.8 \), \( y_3 = 0.4 \)
**Explanation of the Task:**
To find the rotational inertia (moment of inertia) of these masses about the y-axis, use the formula:
\[ I = \sum m_i \cdot x_i^2 \]
where \( m_i \) represents the mass of each point and \( x_i \) is the distance of each mass from the y-axis. Calculate the sum for all the given masses.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ad35e146-7b2d-4ff2-affe-1e646d177497/1ae7a9cd-e4bd-44c1-bc7b-fd89b774aa12/biu1sr_thumbnail.jpeg)
