Answer

$I_{\circ}=1.36Kg\cdot m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required mass moment of inertia as follows: $I_{\circ}=\Sigma(I_G+md^2)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_{\circ}=[\frac{1}{12}(3)(1.2)(1.2)^2+3(1.2)(0.2)^2]+[\frac{1}{12}(3)(0.4)(0.4)^2+3(0.4)(0.8)^2]$ This simplifies to: $I_{\circ}=1.36Kg\cdot m^2$
