The moment of inertia of a uniform square plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre is Ma ² 6 where M is the mass and a ^ ' is the side of square plate. Moment of inertia of this plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through one of its corner is
Options
- AMa ² 3
- B3 Ma ²
- C3 Ma ² 2
- D2 Ma ² 3
Correct answer
D. 2 Ma ² 3
Step-by-step solution
I_ o = M a² 6 A B= 2 a² = 2 a A O= a 2 =h I_ A =I_ o +M h²= Ma ² 6 + Ma ² 2 = Ma ²+3 Ma ² 6 = 4 Ma ² 6 = 2 Ma ² 3
