The moment of inertia of a square loop made of four uniform solid cylinders, each having radius 
and length 
about an axis passing through the mid points of opposite sides, is (Take the mass of the entire loop as 
) :
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Each cylinder has mass 
, radius 
, length 
.
Axis through midpoints of top and bottom sides (along y-direction).
Top/bottom cylinders (perpendicular to axis, axis through midpoint):
each.
Left/right cylinders (parallel to axis, distance 
from it):
each.
Total 
.
