Question: Moment of inertia of a circular wire of mass M and radius R about its diameter is

[AIEEE 2002]

Options:

A) MR2/2

B) MR2

C) 2MR2

D) MR2/4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] Moment of inertia of circular wire about its axis is MR2 .

Consider two diameters XX and YY moment of inertia about any of this diameter is same let us say l . From perpendicular axis theorem, l+l=MR2 l=MR22
