Two spheres of same mass and radius are in contact with each other. If the moment of inertia of a sphere about its diameter is I, then the moment of inertia of both the spheres about the tangent at their common point would be

We know that when two equal masses are placed on a line then, gravitational force on a third mass is zero due to these two masses when the third is placed at the centre of line joining the two masses. But if third mass is placed anywhere else on the x-axis, the gravitational force acts on that mass due to these two masses. Consider a system shown in figure. In this system two point masses of mass M each are placed at y-axis at a distance a from origin and these masses are fixed.
