Q80 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Aug Shift 1) · Physics

Moment of inertia of a square plate of side l about the axis passing through one of the corner and perpendicular to the plane of square plate is given by:

  • A
    Ml26
  • Correct answer
    B
    23Ml2
  • C
    Ml2
  • D
    Ml212

Solution

Figure

Use parallel axis theorem to get the magnitude of the moment of inertia of a square plate of side l about the axis passing through one of the corners and perpendicular to the plane of a square plate, 

Iz=Icm+Ml22

⇒Iz=Ml26+Ml22=4Ml26=2Ml23.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
