Which of the following type of wheels of same mass and radius will have largest moment of inertia?
Options
- ARing
- BAngular disc
- CSolid disc
- DCylindrical disc
Correct answer
A. Ring
Step-by-step solution
A wheel is rotated about its central axis, therefore we will compare all the moments of inertia of various shapes about their central axis. Moment of Inertia of Ring of mass M   and radius R   about its central axis is M R 2 Moment of inertia of solid disc of M   and radius R   about its central axis is M R 2 2 Moment of inertia of the annular disc of mass M   with outer radius R   and inner outer radius r   about its central axis is M R 2 + r 2 2 Moment of inertia of the cylindri
