View Solution

Three identical spheres,each of mass $M$ and radius $R$,are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis $XX'$ which passes through the diameter of the top sphere and is tangent to the two bottom spheres. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spheres about the $XX'$ axis is:
