The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of length \(L\) and mass \(M\) about an axis passing through a point at a distance of \(1 / 3\) from one of its ends and perpendicular to the rod is

  1. A \(\frac{M L^{2}}{12}\)
  2. B \(\frac{M L^{2}}{9}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7 M L^{2}}{48}\)
  4. D \(\frac{M L^{2}}{48}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{M L^{2}}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}\)
(about middle point)

\(\therefore\)
\(I=I_{\mathrm{CM}}+M x^{2}\)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}+M\left(\frac{L}{6}\right)^{2} \\I=\frac{M L^{2}}{9}\end{array}\)
