A uniform solid cylinder of mass and radius has a wedge-shaped slice corresponding to a sector removed along its entire length. The moment of inertia of the remaining portion of the cylinder about its natural geometric axis is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The angle of the removed sector is .
The angle of the remaining portion of the cylinder is .
Since the cylinder is uniform, the mass is proportional to the sector angle. The mass of the remaining portion is:
The moment of inertia of a solid cylinder (or any sector of it) about its central geometric axis is given by .
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the remaining portion is:
Answer:
The angle of the remaining portion of the cylinder is .
Since the cylinder is uniform, the mass is proportional to the sector angle. The mass of the remaining portion is:
The moment of inertia of a solid cylinder (or any sector of it) about its central geometric axis is given by .
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the remaining portion is:
