The moment of inertia of a circular ring about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its center is $200 \, gm \cdot cm^2$. The moment of inertia about its diameter is ....... $gm \cdot cm^2$.

State the theorem of perpendicular axes and the theorem of parallel axes.

Four identical uniform solid spheres,each of mass $M$ and radius $R$,are placed touching each other in a line as shown in the figure,with centers $A, B, C, D$. Let $I_A, I_B, I_C,$ and $I_D$ be the moment of inertia of the entire system of four spheres about an axis passing through the center of the respective sphere and perpendicular to the plane containing the centers. The difference $|I_A - I_B|$ is: (in $MR^2$)
