Problem

A uniform thin square plate of side length LL lies flat on a tabletop. Three separate axes are perpendicular to the plate and located in its plane: • Axis X passes through the center of the plate. • Axis Y passes through the midpoint of one edge. • Axis Z is located at a point a distance 2L2L from the center of the plate. Which of the following correctly ranks the rotational inertia of the plate about these axes from least to greatest? a) Y<X<ZY < X < Z b) X<Y<ZX < Y < Z c) X<Z<YX < Z < Y d) Z<Y<XZ < Y < X
