I have to show what the moment of inertia of a rectangular plate with mass M and sides A and B is about its centre of mass. I have come up with
[tex]\frac{1}{12}M(a^2 + b^2)[/tex]
Now I have to show what the moment of inertia of the same plate is except this time about an axis perpedicular to the plate and passes through one corner. I know it is:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}M(a^2 + b^2)[/tex] But having some problems proving it
[tex]\frac{1}{12}M(a^2 + b^2)[/tex]
