Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

Three thin rods, each mass ' 2 M ' and length ' L ' are placed along x,yx, y and z axis which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at origin. Moment of inertia of the system about x - axis is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Rod along x: I=0I = 0.
  2. Rods along y and z (mass 2M2M), end on the axis: 2ML23\frac{2ML^2}{3} each.
  3. I=4ML23I = \frac{4ML^2}{3}, so the answer is (a).
