Moment of intertia
Question

A particle of mass m is attached to a thin uniform rod of length a at a distance of  a4 from the mid-point
C as shown in the figure. The mass of the rod is 4 m. The moment of inertia of the combined system about
an axis passing through 0 and perpendicular to the rod is [EAMCET 2013]

Moderate
Solution

In given condition, the moment of inertia of the combine system about an axis passing through O is

I=43ma2+m3a42

 I=9148ma2
