Problem

Two solid spheres, each of mass M=2 kgM = 2\,\text{kg} and radius R=0.1 mR = 0.1\,\text{m}, are connected by a thin, massless rod of length L=0.8 mL = 0.8\,\text{m}. The rod connects the surfaces of the spheres (the distance between the centers of the spheres is L+2RL + 2R). Find the Radius of Gyration of this system about an axis passing through the center of the connecting rod and perpendicular it.
