A uniform thin bar of mass 6 m and length 12L is bent to make a regular hexagon. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centre of mass and perpendicular to the plane of the hexagon is:

a
20 mL2
b
6 mL2
c
125 mL2
d
30 mL2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

x = 2L cos 30° = L3I = 6(m(2L)212+mx2) = 20mL2
