Rotational Motion Question 207

Question: The moment of inertia of a uniform semicircular wire of mass m and radius r, about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane is mr2(1kπ2) then find the value of k.

Options:

A) 2

B) 3

C) 4

D) 5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Moment of inertia about z-axis,

Iz=mr2

(about centre of mass) Applying parallel axes theorem,

Iz=Icm+mk2

Icm=Izm(2πr)2

=mr2m4r2π2=mr2(14π2)

i.e., k=4
