Questions  

The linear mass density of a thin rod AB of length L varies from A to B as  λ(x)=λ01+xL, where  x is the distance from A.  If M is the mass of the rod then its moment of inertia about an axis passing through A and perpendicular to the rod is:

a
37 ML2
b
718 ML2
c
512 ML2
d
25 ML2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

M=∫oLλo1+xLdx=32λoL I=∫dmx2M=   ∫oLλo1+xLx2dx32λoL  =718ML2
