A thin rod of length 41 and mass is bent at the points as shown in figure. What is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis passes through point and perpendicular to the plane of paper?

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Total moment of inertia
=\mathrm{I}\mathrm{I}\mathrm{I}2 2 \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}$\mathrm{I}=10\left(\frac{\mathrm{Ml}^{2}}{3}\right)$
