Three spheres,each of mass $m$ and radius $r$,are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis $YY^1$,which is tangent to two spheres (labeled $2$ and $3$) and passes through the diameter of the third sphere (labeled $1$). The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spheres about the $YY^1$ axis is:

$ABC$ is a plane lamina in the shape of an equilateral triangle. $D$ and $E$ are the midpoints of $AB$ and $AC$,respectively,and $G$ is the centroid of the lamina. The moment of inertia of the lamina about an axis passing through $G$ and perpendicular to the plane $ABC$ is $I_{0}$. If the part $ADE$ is removed,the moment of inertia of the remaining part about the same axis is $\frac{NI_{0}}{16}$,where $N$ is an integer. The value of $N$ is

$A$ solid sphere of mass $5 \ kg$ and radius $10 \ cm$ is kept in contact with another solid sphere of mass $10 \ kg$ and radius $20 \ cm$. The moment of inertia of this pair of spheres about the tangent passing through the point of contact is . . . . . . $kg \cdot m^{2}$.
