Detailed Solution

Statement :The moment of inertia of a rigid body about any axis is equal to the moment of inertia about a parallel axis through its centre of mass plus the product of the mass of the body and the square of the perpendicular distance between the two parallel axes.
I=I0+Mr2
Proof:
1) consider a rigid body of mass M rotating about an axis AB.
2) Let C be the centre of mass of the body and CD be the parallel axis through C.
3) Let I and I0 be the moments of inertia of the body about AB and CD respectively. r is the perpendicular distance between the parallel axes.
4) Let a particle of mass m is situated at P.
M.I. of the rigid body about AB is I=ΣmAP2
M.I. of the rigid body about CD is
I0=ΣmCP2

Hence, theorem is proved.
