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

Which is more accurate slope o average?
Novay_Z [31]
As long as the graph is a straight line they both will give same answer. Edit: In the case of errors,I think the most fitting slope line is more accurate method,because taking average is same as drawing a line from initial to final point of the line and taking its slope.
Hope it helps

An asteroid has a radius of 110,000 m
nydimaria [60]

Answer: M = 6.13 × 10^18 kg

Explanation:

g = GM/r2,

Where

The mass M of the asteroid = ?

The radius r = 110000 m

g = 0.0338 m/s^2

G is the gravitational constant.

SI units its value is approximately 6.674×10^−11m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Using the formula

g = GM/r2

Cross multiply

GM = gr^2

6.674×10^-11M = 0.0338 × 110000^2

M = 408×10^6/6.674×10^-11

M = 6.13 × 10^18 kg
