NEETPhysicsRotational MotionMCQ+4 / −1
Three particles, each of mass m gram, are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle ABC of side cm (as shown in the figure). The moment of inertia of the system about a line AX perpendicular to AB and in the plane of ABC, in gram-cm2 units will be


- Am2
- B2m2
- Cm2
- Dm2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C

IAX = m(AB)2 + m(OC)2
= m2 + m ( cos 60º)2
= m2 + m2/4 = 5/4 m2
