JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 16th March Morning Shift - No. 7)

Four equal masses, m each are placed at the comers of a square of length (l) as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through A and parallel to DB would be :

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 16th March Morning Shift Physics - Center of Mass and Collision Question 58 English Explanation
$$AC = \sqrt {{l^2} + {l^2}} $$

$$AC = l\sqrt 2 $$

$$d = {{l\sqrt 2 } \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow d = {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$

Moment of inertia about the axis passing through A :

$$I = m{(O)^2} + m{(d)^2} + m{(d)^2} + M{(AC)^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow I = O + m{\left( {{l \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^2} + m{\left( {{l \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^2} + m{\left( {l\sqrt 2 } \right)^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow I = {{m{l^2}} \over 2} + {{m{l^2}} \over 2} + 2m{l^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow I = 3m{l^2}$$
