About what axis would a uniform cube have its minimum moment of inertia?

Solution

The moment of Inertia will be minimum about an axis passing through its diagonals. This is because in this case most of the mass of the cube will lie closest to the axis of rotation which means that the moment of inertia will be least possible.
