Four equal masses, m each are placed at the corners of a square of length l as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through A and parallel to D B would be :
Options
- Am l 2
- B2   m l 2
- C3   m l 2
- D3   m l 2
Correct answer
C. 3   m l 2
Step-by-step solution
Moment of inertia of point mass = mass × Perpendicular   distance   from   axis 2 Moment of Inertia = m 0 2 + m l 2 2 + m l 2 2 + m l 2 2 = 3   m l 2
