Consider a uniform wire of mass M and length L . It is bent into a semicircle. Its moment of inertia about a line perpendicular to the plane of the wire passing through the centre is :
Options
- A1 4 M L 2 π 2
- B2 5 M L 2 π 2
- CM L 2 π 2
- D1 2 M L 2 π 2
Correct answer
C. M L 2 π 2
Step-by-step solution
π r = L ⇒ r = L π I = M r 2 = M L 2 π 2
