The particles as shown in the figure below are connected by a very light rod. They rotate about the y axis at 1.9 rad/s.
a. Find the speed of each particle, and use it to calculate the kinetic energy of this system directly from 1/2 mivi^2.
speed of m1 = 1 kg
b. speed of m2 = 3 kg
m3=2kg and m4=1kg

No figure, of course, and I have no idea what the "y" axis is.
