The moment of inertia of a hollow cubical box of mass `M` and side `a` about an axis passing through the centres of two opposite faces is equal to.A. `(5 M a^2)/(3)`B. `(5 M a^2)/(6)`C. `(5 M a^2)/(12)`D. `(5 M a^2)/(18)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D (d) Taking mass of plate `m = (ma^2)/(6) xx 2 = (ma^2)/(3)` Then `MI` of two plates through which the axis is passing. `M.I` of `4` plates having symmetrical position from the axis. =`4 xx[(m a^2)/(12) + m((a)/(2))^2] = 4 xx[(ma^2)/(3)]` Total `MI = (4 m a^2)/(3) + ( ma^2)/(3) = (5m a^2)/(3)` using `(M)/(6) = m = MI = (5 M a^2)/(18)`. |
