Question

The **moment of inertia** of a thin uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about a perpendicular axis through its **centre** is:

Accepted Answer

B. $ML^2/12$

**Standard result:** $I_{	ext{cm}} = ML^2/12$.
**About one end (parallel axis):** $I = ML^2/12 + M(L/2)^2 = ML^2/3$.

Answer

$ML^2/3$

Answer

$ML^2/2$

Answer

$ML^2$
