The moment of inertia for a square plate of mass M and length L that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate and passing through its center is ML²/6 (Fig. P8.49A). What is the moment of inertia of the same plate when it is rotated about an axis that lies along one edge of the plate (Fig. P8.49B)?
