Four spheres,each of mass $M$ and diameter $2a$,are placed at the corners of a square of side $b$ as shown in the figure. Calculate the moment of inertia about the axis $BB'$.

  • A
    $4M \left[ \frac{2}{5}a^2 + \frac{b^2}{2} \right]$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5}Ma^2 + Mb^2$
  • C
    $7M \left[ \frac{2}{5}a^2 - \frac{b^2}{2} \right]$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{3}Ma^2 - Mb^2$
