    If a thin uniform wire of length X having linear mass density D is bent into a circular loop (as shown in figure). What will be the moment of inertial of the loop about axis AB?  

    A)  \[\frac{3{{L}^{2}}D}{16\,\pi }\]                     

    B)  \[\frac{2{{L}^{2}}D}{3\,\pi }\]

    C)  \[\frac{3{{L}^{2}}D}{8{{\pi }^{2}}}\]                      

    D)  \[\frac{8{{L}^{2}}D}{13{{\pi }^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The moment of inertia of a circular loop about diameter is \[=\,\,\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}\]     [R is radius, M is mass] \[\therefore \] Moment of inertia about AB will be \[{{I}_{AB}}=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}+M{{R}^{2}}=\frac{3}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{I}_{AB}}=\frac{3}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]                                ... (i) As linear mass density is D Mass of loop \[\operatorname{M}=LD\]                            ... (ii) and length of wire is L. \[\therefore \] Radius of circular loop will be \[R=\frac{L}{2\pi }\]     ? (iii) From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get \[{{I}_{AB}}=\frac{3}{2}(LD).{{\left( \frac{L}{2\pi } \right)}^{2}}=\frac{3{{L}^{2}}D}{8{{\pi }^{2}}}\]
