Question

The moment of inertia of a thin square plate ABCD as shown in the fig. of uniform thickness about an axis passing through the centre O and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is
(Where I1, I2, I3, I4 are the moments of inertia respectively about axis 1, 2, 3 and 4 which are in the plane of the plate.)

Solution

The correct options are
A I1 + I2
B I3 + I4
C I1 + I3
Let the MI about an axis passing through O and to the plane of the square plate ABCD is IO
The axes designated as 3 and 4 are mutually perpendicular.
Applying perpendicular axis theorem,
IO=I3+I4
But axes 3 and 4 are equivalent by symmetry.
I3=I4
The axes designated as I and 2 are mutually perpendicular.
Applying perpendicular axis theorem,
IO=I1+I2
But axes 1 and 2 are equivalent by symmetry.
I1=I2
Since IO=I1+I2=I3+I4
IO=2I1=2I2=2I3=2I4
IO=I1+I2=I3+I4=I1+I3
