(A) The moment of inertia $I$ of a system of point masses about an axis is given by $I = \sum m_i r_i^2$,where $r_i$ is the perpendicular distance of the $i$-th mass from the axis.For the $x$-axis,the perpendicular distance of a point $(x, y, z)$ is $r = \sqrt{y^2 + z^2}$.$1$. For mass $m_1 = 1 	ext{ kg}$ at $(0,0,0)$: $r_1 = \sqrt{0^2 + 0^2} = 0$. So,$I_1 = 1(0)^2 = 0$.$2$. For mass $m_2 = 2 	ext{ kg}$ at $(2,0,0)$: $r_2 = \sqrt{0^2 + 0^2} = 0$. So,$I_2 = 2(0)^2 = 0$.$3$. For mass $m_3 = 3 	ext{ kg}$ at $(0,3,0)$: $r_3 = \sqrt{3^2 + 0^2} = 3$. So,$I_3 = 3(3)^2 = 27$.$4$. For mass $m_4 = 4 	ext{ kg}$ at $(-2,-2,0)$: $r_4 = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 0^2} = 2$. So,$I_4 = 4(2)^2 = 16$.The total moment of inertia $I = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 + I_4 = 0 + 0 + 27 + 16 = 43 	ext{ kg m}^2$.

Point masses $1, 2, 3$ and $4 \text{ kg}$ are located at the points $(0,0,0), (2,0,0), (0,3,0)$ and $(-2,-2,0)$ respectively. The moment of inertia of this system about the $x$-axis will be: (in $\text{ kg m}^2$)
