Four thin metal rods each of mass ' M ' and length ' L ', are welded end to end to form a square. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is
Options
- AML ^2 3
- B2 ML ^2 3
- C2 ML ^2 9
- D4 ML ^2 3
Correct answer
D. 4 ML ^2 3
Step-by-step solution
Moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through O aligned I ₀ & =4 [ MI of rod + m ( ~L 2 )^2 ] & =4 [ ML ^2 12 + ML ^2 4 ] & = 4 3 ML ^2 aligned
