Q.
The moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis passing through its mid point and perpendicular to the rod, is 2400 g cm$^2$. The length of the 400 g rod is nearly:
A) 20.7 cm
B) 72.0 cm
C) 8.5 cm
D) 17.5 cm
Explanation
[Solution by Claude - not from source] $I=\frac{ML^2}{12}\Rightarrow L^2=\frac{12\times2400}{400}=72\Rightarrow L\approx8.5$ cm. Answer (3).
