Two point masses 3 kg each at the ends of a massless rod of length 4 m. I about axis through center perpendicular to rod:

  1. 48
  2. 36
  3. 24
  4. 12
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 24

Each mass at distance 2 m from center. We have I = sum m × r². That is I = 3 × 2² + 3 × 2². That is I = 12 + 12. So I = 24 kg m².

For a thin rod (mass M, length L) about axis through ONE END perpendicular to rod, I equals:

  1. ML²/12
  2. ML²
  3. ML²/2
  4. ML²/3
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. ML²/3

By parallel-axis theorem: I_end = I_cm + M(L/2)² = ML²/12 + ML²/4 = ML²/12 + 3ML²/12 = 4ML²/12 = ML²/3.
