Q:  What is the moment of inertia of each ball around its own center? 


       I (ball around own center)   =  (2/5) M R^2

                                    =  (2/5) (5 kg) * (0.3 m)^2

                                    =   0.18   kg*m^2
  

  Q:  What is the distance from the center of each stick to
            the axis of rotation? 

                                 d  =  0.3 m  +  (0.7 m / 2)

                                    =  0.65 m



  Q:  What is the moment of inertia of each ball around the center? 


           I (ball around "x")      =  I (ball around own center) + M*d^2

                                    =  0.18  kg*m^2  +  (5 kg) * (0.65 m)^2

                                    =  2.29  kg*m^2



  Q:  What is the moment of inertia of the rod? 

           I (rod)                  =  (1/12) m L^2

                                    =  0.0625  kg*m^2


  Q:  What is the moment of inertia of the entire object?

           I (all around "x")       =  2 * I (ball around "x")  +  I (rod)

                                    =  2 * 2.29 kg*m^2   +  0.0625 kg*m^2

                                    =  4.65  kg*m^2
