$ABC$ is a triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are in the ratio shown in the figure. $I_{AB}, I_{BC}, I_{CA}$ are the moments of inertia of the plate about axes $AB, BC,$ and $CA$ respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct?

Three balls of masses $2 \,kg$,$4 \,kg$,and $6 \,kg$ are placed at the midpoints of the sides of an equilateral triangle of side length $2 \,m$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centroid and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is . . . . . .$kg \,m^2$.

How does the moment of inertia depend on the angular momentum?

The figure shows an isosceles triangular plate of mass $M$ and base $L$. The angle at the apex is $90^o$. The apex lies at the origin and the base is parallel to the $X$-axis. The moment of inertia of the plate about the $z$-axis is
