Question
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
