A uniform square plate has a small piece `Q` of an irregular shape removed and glued to the centre of the plate leaving a hole behind [Fig.] The moment of inertia about the z-axis is than

A

increased

B

decreased

C

the same

D

changed in unpredicted manner

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to the theorem of perpendicular axes.
`I_(z) = I_(x) + I_(y)`
With the hole, `I_(x)` and `I_(Y)` both decrease. Gluing the removed piece at the center of square plate does not affect `I_(z)`. Hence, `I_(z)` decrease overall.

A uniform square plate has a small piece Q of an irregular shape removed and guled to the centre of the plate leaving a hole behind in figure. The moment of inertia about the z-axis is then, .

Let I be the moment of interia of a uniform square plate about an axis AB that passses through its centre and is parallel to two its sides. CD is a line in the plane of the plate that passes through the centre of the plate and makes an angle theta with AB . The moment of inertia of the plate about the axis CD is then equal to-
