Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

In the diagram shown all three rods are of equal length L and equal mass M. The system is rotated such that rod B is the axis. What is the moment of inertia of the system ?

Options

A.
B.ML2
C.
D.ML2

Solution

Moment of inertia of system
= M.I of A + M.I. of B + M.I. of C
M.I of A =M.T through centre and perpendicular length = ML2
M.I. of C = M.I of A = ML2
M.I. of B = 0
(moment of mass anout an axis passing through its own position is zero)
∴ M.I = ML2 + ML2 = ML2
