Three point masses,each of mass $m$,are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis passing along one side of the triangle is:

$A$ thin metal rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is cut into four equal parts by cutting it perpendicular to its length. If the moment of inertia of the rod about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length is $I$,then the moment of inertia of each part about an axis passing through its own centre and perpendicular to its length is:

The radius of gyration of a cylindrical rod about an axis of rotation perpendicular to its length and passing through its center is $k$. Given that the length of the rod is $10 \sqrt{3} \ m$,find the value of $k$ in meters.
