A) \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{24}\]
B) \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}\]
C) \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{6}\]
D) \[\frac{\sqrt{2}M{{L}^{2}}}{24}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Since rod is bent at the middle, so each part of it will have the same length \[\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)\]and mass\[\left( \frac{M}{2} \right)\] as shown. Moment of inertia of each part through its one end \[=\frac{1}{3}\left( \frac{M}{2} \right){{\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] Hence, net moment of inertia of complete structure through its middle point O is \[I=\frac{1}{3}\left( \frac{M}{2} \right){{\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)}^{2}}+\frac{1}{3}\left( \frac{M}{2} \right){{\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\left( \frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{8}+\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{8} \right)=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}\]You need to login to perform this action.
