Answer

$I_z=1.53Kgm^2$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required moment of inertia as follows: $I_z=\frac{3\rho}{10}\Sigma \frac{1}{3}\pi r_i^2 h_i r_i^2$ $\implies I_z=\frac{\rho \pi}{10}\Sigma h_i r_i^4$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_z=\frac{200}{10}(1.6(0.4)4-0.6(0.4)^4-0.8(0.2)^4)$ This simplifies to: $I_z=1.53Kgm^2$
