A thin rod of length 41 and mass 4 m4 \mathrm{~m} is bent at the points as shown in figure. What is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis passes through point O\mathrm{O} and perpendicular to the plane of paper? A thin rod of length 41 and mass 4 ~m is bent at the points as shown in figure. What is the moment of inertia of the

Options

  1. AMl23\frac{\mathrm{M} l^{2}}{3}
  2. B10Ml23\frac{10 \mathrm{M} l^{2}}{3}
  3. CMl212\frac{\mathrm{M} l^{2}}{12}
  4. DMl224\frac{\mathrm{M} l^{2}}{24}

Correct answer

B. 10Ml23\frac{10 \mathrm{M} l^{2}}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Total moment of inertia =I1+\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}2+_{2}+\mathrm{I}3+_{3}+\mathrm{I}4=_{4}=2 I1+\mathrm{I}_{1}+2 I2\mathrm{I}_{2}=2(l1+l2)⌈I3=I1,I1=I4] Now, I2=I3=MI23\begin{array}{l} =2\left(l_{1}+l_{2}\right)\left\lceil I_{3}=I_{1}, I_{1}=I_{4}\right] \\ \text{ Now, } I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{M I^{2}}{3} \end{array}Usingparallelaxestheorem,wehaveUsing parallel axes theorem, we have\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{CM}}+\mathrm{Mx}^{2} \text{\text{ and } } \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{l^{2}+\frac{l^{2}}{4}} \\ \mathrm{I}_{1}=\mathrm{I}_{4}=\frac{\mathrm{M} l^{2}}{12}+\mathrm{M}\left[\sqrt{l^{2}+\left(\frac{l}{2}\right)^{2}}\right]^{2} \end{array}$PuttingallvalueswegetMomentofinertia,Putting all values we get Moment of inertia,\mathrm{I}=10\left(\frac{\mathrm{Ml}^{2}}{3}\right)$
