  1. Four identical thin rods each of mass M and length l, form a square frame. Moment of inertia of this frame about an axis through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is:
    1. 2
      Ml²
      3
    2. 13
      Ml²
      3
    3. 1
      Ml²
      3
    4. 4
      Ml²
      3

Correct Option: D

Moment of inertia of a thin rod of length l about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the rod = (1/12)Ml²
Thus moment of inertia of the frame.

Total M.I. = 4 × (ml²/3)
