Three point masses,each of mass $m$,are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $\ell$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis along any one side of the triangle is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3} m \ell^{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} m \ell^{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4} m \ell^{2}$
  • D
    $m \ell^{2}$
