Three rings each of mass ' M ' and radius ' R ' are arranged as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of system about axis YY' will be
Options
- A5 MR ^2
- B7 2 MR ^2
- C3 2 MR ^2
- D3 MR ^2
Correct answer
B. 7 2 MR ^2
Step-by-step solution
The moment of inertia of the upper ring about its diameter is given by I ₁= MR ^2 2 The moment of inertia of the two lower rings about a tangent in their plane is given by I ₂= I ₃= 3 2 MR ^2 Total moment of inertia I = I ₁+ I ₂+ I ₃ = MR ^2 2 + 3 2 MR ^2+ 3 2 MR ^2= 7 2 MR ^2
