Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Formula for moment of inertia is as follows.

                 M.I = \frac{mass \times (length)^{2}}{3}

Hence, moment of inertia of two rods is as follows.

      M.I of two rods = 2 \times \frac{(\frac{m}{3} \times b^{2})}{3}

                                = \frac{2mb^{2}}{9}    

As third rod have no connection with vertices. So, moment of inertia of a rod along an axis passing through its center is as follows.

           M.I = \frac{mass \times (length)^{2}}{12}

                 = \frac{mb^{2}}{3 \times 12}

                 = \frac{mb^{2}}{36}

Using parallel axis theorem moment of inertia through vertices is as follows.

  \frac{mb^{2}}{36} + mass \times \text{distance between the two axes}

       h^{2} = b^{2} - \frac{b^{2}}{4}

                  = \frac{3b^{2}}{4}

                h = \frac{\sqrt{3b}}{2}

Now, we will calculate the moment of inertia of third rod about vertices is as follows.

        \frac{mb^{2}}{36} + [(\frac{m}{3}) \times 3\frac{b^{2}}{4}]

            = mb^{2}[\frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{4}]

            = 5 \frac{mb^{2}}{18}

Therefore, total moment of inertia is calculated as follows.

            Total M.I = \frac{2mb^{2}}{9} + \frac{5mb^{2}}{18}

                            = \frac{mb^{2}}{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the moment of inertia of the wire triangle about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the triangle and passing through one of its vertices is \frac{mb^{2}}{2}.

Communities of organisms coexist in organized, balanced _____?
poizon [28]

Answer: C- ecosystem

An ecosystem is a biological community in which living beings interacts with their non-living environment. An ecosystem consists of abiotic ( non-living factors like water, sunlight, wind and soil) and biotic factors such as plants and animals. Ecosystem allows not only the interaction of abiotic and biotic factors but it favors the interaction between the living species. For example animals are dependent upon plants so as to derive their food. The coexistence of organisms favors the diversity of land forms on earth.

Communities of organisms coexist in organized, balanced ecosystems.
