Moment of intertia
Question

The moment of inertia of a thin square plate ABCD of uniform thickness about an axis passing through the centre O and perpendicular to the plate is:

(i) I1 + I2 
(ii) I3 + I4
(iii) I1+ I3 
(iv) I1 + I2+ I3 + I4
where I1 ,I2, I3 and l4 are respectively the moments of inertia
about axes 1,2,3 and 4 which are in the plane of the plate.

Moderate
Solution

It is a square plate so by symmetry, I3 = I4 and I1 = I2
By perpendicular axis theorem, I0 = I1 + I2 + I3 + I4
