Question
The three 500 g masses in the daigram are connected by massless, rigid rods to form a triangle. What is the triangle's rotational energy (in J) if it rotates at 1.50 rev/s about an axis through the center?
(Diagram shows equilateral triangle with 500g masses at each point, the distance from point to point is 40cm and it has three 60deg angles [equilateral])
