Five solid spheres,each of mass $m$ and radius $r$,are arranged as shown in the figure. The axis of rotation $A-A'$ passes through the centers of three spheres. Calculate the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation $A-A'$. (in $m r^2$)

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $3$

Two circular discs $A$ and $B$ are of equal masses and thickness but made of metals with densities ${d_A}$ and ${d_B}$ $({d_A} > {d_B})$. If their moments of inertia about an axis passing through their centres and normal to the circular faces are ${I_A}$ and ${I_B}$ respectively,then:
