Rotational Motion Question 140

Question: Consider a uniform square plate of side a and mass M . The moment of inertia of this plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through one of its comers is

Options:

A) 56Ma2

B) 112Ma2

C) 712Ma2

D) 23Ma2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] For a rectangular sheet moment of inertia passing through O, perpendicular to the plate is

IO=M(a2+b212)

For square plate it is Ma26(asa=b)

r=a24+a24=a2

r2=a22

Moment of inertia about B parallel to the axis through O is

IB=IO=Mr2=Ma26+Ma22=2Ma26 I=23Ma2
