42.

(a) We apply Eq. 11-26:

I

x

=

4

i=1

m

i

y

2

i

= 50(2.0)

2

+ (25)(4.0)

2

+ 25(

−3.0)

2

+ 30(4.0)

2

= 1.3

× 10

3

g

·cm

2

.

(b) For rotationabout the y axis we obtain

I

y

=

4

i=1

m

i

x

2
i

= 50(2.0)

2

+ (25)(0)

2

+ 25(3.0)

2

+ 30(2.0)

2

= 5.5

× 10

2

g

·cm

2

.

(c) And about the z axis, we find (using the fact that the distance from the z axis is

x

2

+ y

2

)

I

z

=

4

i=1

m

i

(x

2
i

+ y

2

i

) = I

x

+ I

y

= 1.3

× 10

3

+ 5.5

× 10

2

= 1.9

× 10

2

g

·cm

2

.

(d) Clearly, the answer to part (c) is A + B.
