Moment of intertia
Question

The moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod of mass m and length l about two axis PQ and RS passing through centre of rod C and in the plane of the rod are IPQ and IRS respectively. Then IPQ+ IRS is equal to

Difficult
Solution

The MI of of rod about axis PQ figure (a) and MI of rod about axis P'Q' figure (b) are same by symmetry.

  IPQ+ IRS = IPQ+IRS = ml212
by perpendicular axis theorem.
