Answer

$I_z=34.2Kg\cdot m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required moment of inertia as follows: The mass of the big cone is given as $m=\rho V$ $\implies m=200(\frac{1}{3}\pi)(1.333)(0.8)^2$ $\implies m=178.72Kg$ The mass of the red cone is $m=\rho (-V)$ $\implies m=200(\frac{-1}{3})(0.333)(0.2)^2=-2.79Kg$ and the mass of the depression cone is given as $m=\rho(-V)$ $\implies m=200(-\frac{1}{3}\pi)(0.6)(0.2)^2=-5.03Kg$ Now $I_z=\Sigma I_z^{\prime}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_z=\frac{3}{10}(178.72)(0.8)^2+\frac{3}{10}(-2.79)(0.2)^2+\frac{3}{10}(-5.03)(0.2)^2$ This simplifies to: $I_z=34.2Kg\cdot m^2$
