The moment of inertia of a cube of mass m and side a about one of its edges is equal to
Options
- A2 3 m a^2
- B4 3 m a^2
- C3 m a^2
- D8 3 m a^2
Correct answer
A. 2 3 m a^2
Step-by-step solution
From theorem of perpendicular axes, we have aligned I & =I_C+m ( a 2 )^2 & = [ m a^2 12 + m a^2 12 ]+ m a^2 2 & = 2 3 m a^2 aligned
