Questions and Answers

What does the theorem of perpendicular axes state?

  • It states that the moment of inertia about an axis parallel to the plane of a body is equal to the moment of inertia about any axis in the plane of the body.
  • It states that the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane of a body is equal to the moment of inertia about any axis in the plane of the body.
  • It states that the moment of inertia about an axis parallel to the plane of a body is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about any two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane of the body.
  • It states that the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane of a body is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about any two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane of the body. (correct)
