Three solid spheres each of mass ' M ' and radius ' R ' are arranged as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about YY' will be
Options
- A16 5 MR ^2
- B21 5 MR ^2
- C7 5 MR ^2
- D11 5 MR ^2
Correct answer
A. 16 5 MR ^2
Step-by-step solution
Moment of inertia of the upper sphere = 2 5 MR ^2 For each lower sphere M.I. = 2 5 MR ^2+ MR ^2= 7 5 MR ^2 Total moment of inertia I = 2 5 MR ^2+2 7 5 MR ^2= 16 5 MR ^2
