Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Moment of inertia of rod AB about its center and perpendicular to the length $$=mL212=I$$⇒$$mL2=12INow$$ moment of inertia of the rod about the axis which is passing through O and perpendicular to the plane of  hexagon Irod $$=mL212+mx2$$[From the theorem of parallel axes]$$=mL212+m32L2=5mL26Now$$ the moment of inertia of system,Isystem $$=6$$×Irod $$=6$$×$$5mL26=5mL2Isystem$$ $$=5(12I)=60I$$  As $$mL2=12I$$

The moment of inertia of a rod of length L about an axis passing through its center of mass and perpendicular to rod is I. The moment of inertia of hexagonal shape formed
by six such rods, about an axis passing through its center of mass and perpendicular to its plane will be
