Consider a thin uniform square sheet made of a rigid material. If its side is 'a', mass m and moment of inertia l about one of its diagonals, then :
As we learnt
Perpendicular Axis theorem -
(for a body in XY plane )
- wherein
= moment of inertia about z axis
. :moment of inertia about x & y axis in the plane of body respectively.
For a thin uniform sheet(square)
