ABCA B C is right angled triangular plane of uniform thickness. The sides are such that AB>BCA B \gt B C as shown in figure. I1,I2,I3I_1, I_2, I_3 are moments of inertia about AB,BCA B, B C and ACA C, respectively. Then which of the following relations is correct? A B C is right angled triangular plane of uniform thickness. The sides are such that A B B C as shown in figure. I_1,

Options

  1. AI1=I2=I3I_1=I_2=I_3
  2. BI2>I1>I3I_2 \gt I_1 \gt I_3
  3. CI3<I2<I1I_3 \lt I_2 \lt I_1
  4. DI3>I1>I2I_3 \gt I_1 \gt I_2

Correct answer

B. I2>I1>I3I_2 \gt I_1 \gt I_3

Step-by-step solution

The moment of inertia of a body about an axis depends not only on the mass of the body but also on the distribution of mass about the axis. For a given body mass is same, so it will depend only on the distribution of mass about the axis. The mass is farthest from axis BCB C, so I2I_2 is maximum mass is nearest to axis ACA C, so I3I_3 is minimum. Hence, the correct sequence will be I2>I1>I3I_2 \gt I_1 \gt I_3
