A thin rod of length L and mass M is bent at the middle point O at an angle 60º, The moment of inertia of the rod about an axis passing through O and perpendicular to heplane of the rod will be(a) ML2/6(b) ML2/12(c) ML2/24(d) ML2/3

Answer»

Correct Option (b) ML2/12

Explanation :

Moment of inertia of a uniform rod about one end = ml2/3

Momento of inertia of the system in which rod is bent

= 2x(M/2)(L/2)2/3 = ML2/12

Note : Here axis is perpendicular to the plane of the rod.
