Three particles of mass $m$ each are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ of side length $\ell$. What is the moment of inertia of the system about the axis $AX$ passing through vertex $A$ and perpendicular to side $AB$ in the plane of the triangle?

  • A
    $2m\ell^2$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{4}m\ell^2$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}m\ell^2$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{4}m\ell^2$
