Four particles,each of mass $m$,are placed at the corners of a square of side $l$. The radius of gyration of the system about an axis passing through the center of the square and perpendicular to its plane is:

  • A
    $ \frac{l}{\sqrt{2}} $
  • B
    $ \frac{l}{2} $
  • C
    $ l $
  • D
    $ (\sqrt{2})l $

The moment of inertia of a rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to it is $\frac{1}{12} ML^2$. The rod is bent in the middle so that the two halves make an angle of $60^o$. The moment of inertia of the bent rod about the same axis (passing through the original centre of the rod) would be:
