The moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod of mass M and length L about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its length is . Find its moment of inertia through through an axis passing through one of its ends and perpendicular to its length.

Answer:

About center ,[tex]I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2[/tex]

About an end ,[tex]I=\dfrac{1}{3}ML^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Mass =m

Length = L

The moment of inertia of rod about center given as

[tex]I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2[/tex]

We know that the moment of inertia about a parallel axis which at a distance d from the center given as

I=Io+ m d²

The distance of one end from center

[tex]d=\dfrac{L}{2}[/tex]

[tex]I=I_o+md^2[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2+M\times \dfrac{L^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2+ \dfrac{1}{4}ML^2[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{1}{3}ML^2[/tex]
