A rod of length L and mass M is bent to form a semicircular ring as shown in figure. The moment of inertia about X Y is
Options
- A1 4 M L^2 ^2
- B2 M L^2 3 ^2
- CM L^2 2
- DM L^2 2
Correct answer
A. 1 4 M L^2 ^2
Step-by-step solution
Here, L= R or R= L Moment of inertia about X Y aligned & = 1 2 ( 1 2 M R^2 ) & = 1 4 M L^2 ^2 aligned
