A thin uniform rod of length 'L' and mass 'M' is bent at the middle point ' 0 ' at an angle of 45^ as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through '0' and perpendicular to the plane of the bent rod, is
Options
- AML ² 12
- BM L² 24
- CM L ² 3
- DM L² 6
Correct answer
A. ML ² 12
Step-by-step solution
Moment of inertia of each half of the rod about the mid point is given by I₁= M 2 ( L 2 )² 3 = M L² 24 Total moment of inertia = I =2 I ₁= ML ² 12
