Four hollow spheres, each with a mass of 1 kg and a radius R = 10 cm, are connected with mass less rods to form a square with sides of length L = 50 cm. In case I, the masses rotate about an axis that bisects two side s of the square. In case 2, the masses rotate about an axis that passes through the diagonal of the square, as shown in the figure. Compute the ratio of the moments of inertia, I1/I2, for the two cases.

a) I1/I2=8

b) I1/I2= 4

c) I1/I2= 2

d) I1/I2= 1

e) I1/I_{2= 0.5}
