Three thin rods, each of mass ' \(M\) ' and length ' \(L\) ' are placed along \(X, Y\) and Z axes which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at origin. M. I. of the system about Z axis is

  1. A \(\frac{3 \mathrm{ML}^2}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \mathrm{ML}^2}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2 \mathrm{ML}^2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3 \mathrm{ML}^2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2 \mathrm{ML}^2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{ll} & I=\mathrm{I}_1+\mathrm{I}_2+\mathrm{I}_3 \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{ML}^2}{3}+\frac{\mathrm{ML}^2}{3}+0 \\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{I}=\frac{2 \mathrm{ML}^2}{3}\end{array}\)
