JEE Main & Advanced Physics Rotational Motion Question Bank Mock Test - Dynamics of Rigid Body

  • question_answer
    Which of the following has the highest moment of inertia when each of them has the same mass and the same radius?

    A) A ring about any of its diameter

    B)  A disc about any of its diameter

    C)  A hollow sphere about any of its diameter

    D)  A solid sphere about any of its diameter

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let M and R be the mass and radius respectively. Moment of inertia of a ring about any of its diameter is \[{{I}_{ring}}=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\] Moment of inertia of a disc about any of its diameter is \[{{I}_{disc}}=\frac{1}{4}M{{R}^{2}}\] Moment of inertia of a hollow sphere about any of its diameter is \[{{I}_{hellow\,sphere}}=\frac{2}{3}M{{R}^{2}}\] Moment of inertia of a solid sphere about any of its diameter is \[{{I}_{solid\,sphere}}=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\] Thus. \[{{I}_{hollow\,sphere}}\]is largest.
