Question

The density of rod $A B$ increases linearly from $A$ to $B$ . Its midpoint is $O$ and its centre of mass is at $C$ . Four axes pass through $A, B, O$ and $C$ , all perpendicular to the length of the rod. The moments of inertia of the rod about these axes are $I_{A}$ , $I_{B}$ , $I_{C}$ respectively.

Solution

The correct option is A $I_{A} > I_{B}$
$I_{C}$ is least and $C$ lies between $O$ and $B$ as density is increasing from $A$ to $B$
$I_{A} > I_{B}$ more mass is concentrate towards $B$ .
