Question
The moment of inertia of a rod of length 'l' about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to rod is 'I'. The moment of inertia of hexagonal shape formed by six such rods, about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane will be
Options:
A .  16l
B .  40l
C .  60l
D .  80l
Answer: Option C
:
C
Moment of inertia of rod AB about its centre and perpendicular to the length =ml212=lml2=12l
Now moment of inertia of the rod about the axis which is passing through O and perpendicular to the plane of hexagon lrod=ml212+mx2 [From the theorem of parallel axes]
=ml212+m(32l)2=5ml26
Now the moment of inertia of system lsystem=6×Irod=6×5ml26=5ml2
lsystem=5(12l)=60l [As ml2=12l]
The Moment Of Inertia Of A Rod Of Length 'l' About An Axis P...
