Figure 10–72 illustrates an H₂O molecule. The O―H bond length is 0.096 nm and the H―O―H bonds make an angle of 104°. Calculate the moment of inertia of the H₂O molecule (assume the atoms are points) about an axis passing through the center of the oxygen atom
(a) perpendicular to the plane of the molecule,
