Solution
The correct option is D53.33 kg-m2 Given, mass density (σ)=10 kg/m2
Side length of square lamina (a) = 2 m
From definition,
mass density (σ)=Mass of square lamina(M)Area of square lamina(A) ⇒ Mass of square lamina, (M)=σ×a2 =10×22=40 kg
Moment of inertia of square lamina about an axis passing through one of it’s side, I=Ma23
