The moment of inertia of a planar square about a planar axis parallel to one side is 10kgm2. What is the moment of inertia about a diagonal?

The moment of inertia of a planar square about a planar axis parallel to one side is 10kgm2. What is the moment of inertia about a diagonal? Correct Answer 10kgm2

Using perpendicular axis theorem we can say that sum of moment of inertia about two perpendicular axes will be the same as sum of moment of inertia about other 2 perpendicular axes. Let I1 be the moment of inertia about a diagonal, we can say: I1 + I1= 10 + 10 = 20kgm2 Or I1 =10kgm2.

According to parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of a section about an axis parallel to the axis through center of gravity (i.e. $${I_{\text{P}}}$$) is given by (where, A = Area of the section, $${I_{\text{G}}}$$ = Moment of inertia of the section about an axis passing through its C.G. and h = Distance between C.G. and the parallel axis.)
