The figure shows a triangular lamina which can rotate about different axes. The moment of inertia is maximum about the axis:

Two spheres $A$ and $B$,each of mass $5 \ kg$,are attached to the ends of a light rod of length $1 \ m$. Treating the spheres as point masses,find the ratio of the moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through $A$ to that about an axis passing through the center of the rod,both axes being perpendicular to the rod.

$A$ straight rod of length $L$ is made of a material having mass per unit length $m(x) = \lambda|x|$, where $x$ is measured from the center of the rod. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end of the rod is to be calculated. Given $L = 1 \ m$ and $\lambda = 16 \ kg/m^2$.
