A body is rotating about its own axis. Its rotational kinetic energy is ' x ' and its angular momentum is ' y '. Hence its moment of inertia about the axis is
Options
- Ax^2 2 y
- By 2 x
- Cx 2 y
- Dy^2 2 x
Correct answer
D. y^2 2 x
Step-by-step solution
The kinetic energy of a rotating body is given by x= I ^2 2 and the angular momentum is given by y = I , where I is the moment of inertia, the angular velocity. Therefore, we can write, y ^2=2 I ( I ^2 2 )=2 Ix On re-writing, I= y^2 2 x
