Questions  

Four identical thin rods each of mass M and length l form a square frame. Moment of inertia of this frame about an axis through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is

a
43Ml2
b
23Ml2
c
133Ml2
d
13Ml2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The moment of inertia of each rod about an axis through the centre of frame but perpenducular to frame =[its moment of inertia through its centre of mass and perpendicular to rod + (mass of rod) ×(perpendicular distance between two axes)]= Ml212+M(l2)2 = Ml23Moment of inertia of the system = Ml23×4= 43Ml2
