How does the distribution of mass affect the moment of inertia of an object?
The moment of inertia is independent of mass distribution.
The moment of inertia is greater when the mass is concentrated closer to the axis of rotation.
The moment of inertia is smaller when the mass is concentrated farther from the axis of rotation.
The moment of inertia is greater when the mass is concentrated farther from the axis of rotation.

What is the moment of inertia of a point mass at a distance from the axis of rotation?
A system consists of two small spheres, each of mass , fixed to the ends of a rod of length 2R
