The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²

From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension. 
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
 F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
                = 100 N/ 0.001
                = 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm
