Three solid spheres each of mass m and diameter d are stuck together such that the lines connecting the centres form an equilateral triangle of side length d . Find the ratio I 0 / I A , where I 0 is the moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centroid and I A is the moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centre of any sphere and perpendicular to the plane of the t
Options
- A23 13
- B13 15
- C13 23
- D15 13
Correct answer
C. 13 23
Step-by-step solution
The moment of inertia of the system about the point O is I 0 = 3 2 5 M d 2 2 + M d 3 2 = 13 10 M d 2 The moment of inertia of the system about the point A is I A = 2 2 5 M d 2 2 + M ( d ) 2 + 2 5 M d 2 2 = 23 10 M d 2 So, the ratio = 13 23
