A thin rod of length $\displaystyle L$ and mass $\displaystyle M$ is bent at its midpoint into two halves so that the angle between them is $\displaystyle 90$°. The moment of inertia of the bent rod about an axis passing through the bending point and perpendicular to the plane defined by the two halves of the rod is :
Official answer
