Three thin rods each of length 
and mass 
are placed along 
and 
-axes such that one end of each rod is at origin. The moment of inertia of this system about 
-axis is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Moment of inertia of the rod lying along 
-axis will be zero. Moment of inertia of the rods
along 
and 
-axes will be 
each about 
-axis. Hence, total moment of inertia about 
-axis is 
.
