Four particles,each of mass $1 \ kg$,are placed at the four corners of a square of side $2 \ m$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through one of its vertices is . . . . . . $kg \ m^2$.

$A$ solid sphere $A$ of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is attached at a point to a smaller solid sphere $B$ of radius $r < R$ and mass $m < M$. Assume that the line joining their centres lies along the horizontal. The moment of inertia of the system calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $A$ is $I_A$ and that calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $B$ is $I_B$. The difference $I_A - I_B$ is :
