Homework Statement
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff4/alg5045/p13-17.gif
The four masses shown in the figure below are connected by massless, rigid rods.
(a) Find the coordinates of the center of mass if MA = 130 g and MB = MC = MD = 260 g.
(b) Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.
Homework Equations
I=mA(rA^2)+mB(rB^2)...
The Attempt at a Solution
I got part A as being .057 m for both x and y.
now wouldn't i use:
(.130*0)+(.260*.05^2)+(.260*.0707^2)+(.260*.05^2)
?? Its telling me my answer is wrong?!
