Practicing Success
A square plate of mass M and edge L is shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the plate about the axis in the plane of plate and passing through one of its vertex making an angle 15o horizontal is : |
\(\frac{ML^2}{12}\) \(\frac{11 ML^2}{24}\) \(\frac{5ML^2}{12}\) none of these |
\(\frac{11 ML^2}{24}\) |
From parallel axis theorem : \(I_1 = \frac{ML^2}{12}\) \(I_2 = I_1 + Mx^2\) \(I_2 = \frac{ML^2}{12} + M(\frac{\sqrt{3}L}{2\sqrt{2}})^2\) \(I_2 = \frac{11 ML^2}{24}\) |
