A light rod of length $$l$$ has two masses $${m_1}$$ and $${m_2}$$ attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is
COM of $${m_1}$$ and $${m_2}$$ masses lies at
$$r = \frac{{{m_1}{r_1} + {m_2}{r_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}$$
∴ Moment of inertia of the point masses about the given axis is
$$\eqalign{
& I = \sum {{m_i}r_i^2 \Rightarrow I = {m_1}r_1^2 + {m_2}r_2^2} \cr
& = {m_1}{\left( {\frac{{{m_2}l}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}} \right)^2} + {m_2}{\left( {\frac{{{m_1}l}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}} \right)^2} \cr
& = \frac{{{m_1}{m_2}{l^2}}}{{{{\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)}^2}}} + \left( {{m_2} + {m_1}} \right) = \frac{{{m_1}{m_2}{l^2}}}{{\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)}} \cr} $$

Three identical metal balls each of radius $$r$$ are placed touching each other on a horizontal surface such that an equilateral triangle is formed with centres of three balls joined. The centre of mass of the system is located at
The whole mass of the ball will be concentrated at the centre of the ball. All the three balls are identical, i.e., the balls have same mass. On each vertex of equilateral $$\Delta PQR,$$ same mass is kept.
Therefore, centre of mass of the triangle is the centre of mass of the system which is point of intersection of the medians of the triangle.

Moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter is $${I_d} = \frac{1}{4}M{R^2}$$
Now, according to perpendicular axis theorem, moment of inertia of disc about a tangent passing through rim and in the plane of disc is $$I = {I_d} + M{R^2} = \frac{1}{4}M{R^2} + M{R^2} = \frac{5}{4}M{R^2}$$

Consider a thin uniform square sheet made of a rigid material. If its side is $$'a'$$ mass $$m$$ and moment of inertia $$I$$ about one of its diagonals, then

$$I > \frac{{m{a^2}}}{{12}}$$
B
$$\frac{{m{a^2}}}{{24}} < I < \frac{{m{a^2}}}{{12}}$$

From a circular disc of radius $$R$$ and mass $$9\,M,$$ a small disc of radius $$\frac{R}{3}$$ is removed from the disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through $$O$$ is
Let $$\sigma $$ be the mass per unit area.
The total mass of the disc $$ = \sigma \times \pi {R^2} = 9M$$
The mass of the circular disc cut
$$ = \sigma \times \pi {\left( {\frac{R}{3}} \right)^2} = \sigma \times \frac{{\pi {R^2}}}{9} = M$$
Let us consider the above system as a complete disc of mass $$9\,M$$ and a negative mass $$M$$ super imposed on it.
Moment of inertia $$\left( {{I_1}} \right)$$ of the complete disc $$ = \frac{1}{2}9M{R^2}$$ about an axis passing through $$O$$ and perpendicular to the plane of the disc.
$$M.I.$$ of the cut out portion about an axis passing through $$O'$$ and perpendicular to the plane of disc $$ = \frac{1}{2} \times M \times {\left( {\frac{R}{3}} \right)^2}$$
$$\therefore \,\,M.I.\left( {{I_2}} \right)$$ of the cut out portion about an axis passing through $$O$$ and perpendicular to the plane of disc
$$ = \left[ {\frac{1}{2} \times M \times {{\left( {\frac{R}{3}} \right)}^2} + M \times {{\left( {\frac{{2R}}{3}} \right)}^2}} \right]$$ [Using perpendicular axis theorem]
$$\therefore $$ The total $$M.I.$$ of the system about an axis passing through $$O$$ and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is $$I = {I_1} + {I_2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{2}9M{R^2} - \left[ {\frac{1}{2} \times M \times {{\left( {\frac{R}{3}} \right)}^2} + M \times {{\left( {\frac{{2R}}{3}} \right)}^2}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{9M{R^2}}}{2} - \frac{{9M{R^2}}}{{18}} \cr
& = \frac{{\left( {9 - 1} \right)M{R^2}}}{2} \cr
& = 4\,M{R^2} \cr} $$
