In the diagram shown below,all three rods are of equal length $L$ and equal mass $M$. The system is rotated such that rod $B$ is the axis. What is the moment of inertia of the system?

  • A
    $\frac{M L^2}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3} M L^2$
  • C
    $\frac{M L^2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} M L^2$

Three point masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the vertex $m_1$ and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is not what is asked; rather,the axis passes through $m_1$ and bisects the opposite side $m_2m_3$. What is the moment of inertia of the system about this axis?
