Rigid rods of negligible mass lying along the y axis connect three particles. The system rotates about the x axis with an angular speed of 3.20 rad/s.
An x y plane is shown. Three particles are all connected to each other by two rigid rods that are along the y-axis. The 4.00 kg particle is located at y = 3.00 m. The 2.00 kg particle is located at y = −2.00 m. The 3.00 kg mass is located at y = −4.00 m. The axis of rotation is the x-axis and it rotates in a counterclockwise direction (from the perspective of the side, along the +x-axis).
