The moment of inertia of a uniform square plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre is $\frac{Ma^{2}}{6}$,where $M$ is the mass and $a$ is the side of the square plate. The moment of inertia of this plate about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through one of its corners is

Two identical spheres, each of mass $2 \,kg$ and radius $50 \,cm$, are fixed at the ends of a light rod so that the separation between their centers is $150 \,cm$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its middle point is $\frac{x}{20} \,kg \,m^2$. Find the value of $x$.

$A$ solid sphere and a disc of same mass $M$ and radius $R$ are kept such that their curved surfaces are in contact and their centers lie along the same horizontal line. The moment of inertia of the two-body system about an axis passing through their point of contact and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is

Consider a uniform horizontal solid cylinder of mass $10 \,kg$ such that its length is $9$ times its radius. Let the radius be $40 \,cm$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the cylinder about a line passing through its edge and perpendicular to its axis.

$A$ thin uniform square lamina of side $a$ is placed in the $xy$-plane with its sides parallel to $X$ and $Y$-axes and with its centre coinciding with the origin. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through a point on the $Y$-axis at a distance $y = 2a$ and parallel to the $X$-axis is equal to its moment of inertia about an axis passing through a point on the $X$-axis at a distance $x = d$ and perpendicular to the $xy$-plane. Then the value of $d$ is:
