Answer:

a. I₁ = 0.1171875 kg * m²

b. I₂ = 0.288 kg * m²

Explanation:

a. m₁ = 2.5 kg, L₁ = 0.75 m

The rotational inertia about an axis perpendicular to it and passing through its center

I₁ = ¹/₁₂ * M * L²

I₁ = ¹/₁₂ * 2.5 kg * (0.75m)²

I₁ = 0.1171875 kg * m²

b. m₂ = 3  kg , d₁ = 0.38 m

The rotational inertia tangent to the edge of the sphere

I₂ = ²/₃ * M * R²

I₂ = ²/₃ * 3 kg * (0.38m)²

I₂ = 0.288 kg * m²
