Vedclass · Answer

(A) For a single rod of mass $M$ and length $L$,the moment of inertia about its center of mass is $I_{cm} = \frac{ML^2}{12}$.The distance $d$ from the center of the equilateral triangle to the center of each rod is $d = \frac{L}{2\sqrt{3}}$.Using the parallel axis theorem,the moment of inertia of one rod about the axis passing through the center of the triangle and perpendicular to its plane is:$I_{rod} = I_{cm} + Md^2 = \frac{ML^2}{12} + M\left(\frac{L}{2\sqrt{3}}ight)^2$$I_{rod} = \frac{ML^2}{12} + M\left(\frac{L^2}{12}ight) = \frac{ML^2}{12} + \frac{ML^2}{12} = \frac{2ML^2}{12} = \frac{ML^2}{6}$.Since there are three such rods,the total moment of inertia $I_{total}$ is:$I_{total} = 3 	imes I_{rod} = 3 	imes \frac{ML^2}{6} = \frac{ML^2}{2}$.
