The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M  and length L about an axis passing through its mid - point and perpendicular to its length is Io. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through one of its ends and perpendicular to its length is

  • Io + ML2/4

  • Io + 2ML2

  • Io + ML2

  • Io + ML2/2

Solution

A.

Io + ML2/4

The theorem of parallel axis for moment of inertia
I = ICM + Mh2
space straight I space equals space straight I subscript straight o space plus straight M space open parentheses straight L over 2 close parentheses squared

straight I space equals thin space straight I subscript straight o space plus ML squared over 4
