Solution
The correct option is D2αΔT Let us consider the axis passing through centre of mass of the rod and perpendicular to the rod. We know that, moment of inertia of rod about an axis passing through the centre of mass and perpendicular to the rod is given by, I=KML2……(1) where K=112 Applying logarithm on both sides, we get lnI=ln(KM)+2lnL Differentiating on both sides, dII=2dLL.......(2) [mass M is constant]
From the definition of linear expansion, dLL=α(dT)......(3) Substituting (3) in (2), we get dII=2α(dT) or ΔII=2αΔT Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
