Two identical rods each of mass M and length L are kept according to figure. Find the moment of inertia of rods about an axis passing through O and perpendicular to the plane of rods.

Explanation

`because` Moment of interia about an axis passing through an end `= (ML^(2))/(3)`
`:. I_("given system") = (ML^(2))/(3)+(ML^(2))/(3)=(2ML^(2))/(3)`
