Question
The distance in the parallel axis theorem is multiplied by.....
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The parallel axis theorem states I = I_cm + M d², where d is the distance between axes. The term added is mass times distance squared. For area moment of inertia, it's area times distance squared. So distance is multiplied by area (for area moment) or mass (for mass moment).
Hint
Parallel axis theorem: I = I_cm + M d².
