The moment of inertia of a rod about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length is 1 12 M L^2 , where M is the mass and L is the length of the rod. The rod is bent in the middle so that the two halves make an angle of 60^ . The moment of inertia of the bent rod about the same axis would be
Options
- A1 48 M L^2
- B1 12 M L^2
- C1 24 M L^2
- D1 8 3 M L^2
Correct answer
B. 1 12 M L^2
Step-by-step solution
The moment of inertia of bend rod is aligned & I = 1 3 ( M 2 ) ( L 2 )^2+ 1 3 ( M 2 ) ( L 2 )^2 & = 1 24 ML ^2+ 1 24 ML ^2= 1 12 ML ^2 aligned
