Answer

$I_x=I_y=I_z= \dfrac{2kL^5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider that $I_x=I_y=I_z=\iiint_{E} (y^2+z^2) \rho(x,y,z) dV=k\int_{0}^L\int_{0}^{L}\int_0^L (y^2+z^2) dx dy dz $ $=k\int_{0}^{L} [y^2x+z^2x]_0^L dy dz $ $=k \int_{0}^{L} y^2(L-0)+z^2(L-0) dy dz $ $=kL \int_{0}^{L} (L^3+z^2L) dz $ $= (kL)[\dfrac{zL^3}{3}+\dfrac{z^3L}{3}]_0^L$ $= (kL)[\dfrac{(L-0)L^3}{3}+\dfrac{(L-0)^3L}{3}]$ Hence, $I_x=I_y=I_z= \dfrac{2kL^5}{3}$
