Let I_A and I_B be moments of inertia of a body about two axes A and B , respectively. The axis A passes through the centre of mass of the body but B does not, then .
Options
- AI_A I_B
- BI_A I_B , whether the axes are parallel or not parallel
- Cif the axes are parallel I_A I_B
- Dif the axes are not parallel I_A I_B
Correct answer
C. if the axes are parallel I_A I_B
Step-by-step solution
I_ CM is less than I about any other axis not passing through centre of mass but only when two axes are parallel. I_B=I_A+I_A r^2 where, r is the distance between parallel axes. I_A I_B
