is right angled triangular plane of uniform thickness. The sides are such that as shown in figure. are moments of inertia about and , respectively. Then which of the following relations is correct?

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
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 , so is maximum mass is nearest to axis , so is minimum.
Hence, the correct sequence will be
