KCET2010PhysicsRotational Motion
The moment of inertia of a circular disc of radius 2 ~m and mass 1 ~kg about an axis passing through the centre of mass but perpendicular to the plane of the disc is 2 ~kg ~m ² . Its moment of inertia about an axis parallel to this axis but passing through the edge of the disc is (see the given figure).
Options
- A8 ~kg ~m ²
- B4 ~kg ~m ²
- C10 ~kg ~m ²
- D6 ~kg ~m ²
Correct answer
D. 6 ~kg ~m ²
Step-by-step solution
According to parallel axis theorem aligned I _ X^ Y^ &=I_ X Y +M² &=2+(1)(2)² &=6 ~kg - m ² aligned
