    What is moment of inertia in terms of angular momentum (L) and kinetic energy (K)?

    A)  \[\frac{{{L}^{2}}}{K}\]

    B)  \[\frac{L}{2K}\]

    C) \[\frac{L}{2{{K}^{2}}}\]

    D) \[\frac{L}{2K}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Angular momentum of a rigid body about a fixed axis is given by \[L=I\omega \] where I is moment of inertia and \[\omega \] is angular velocity about that axis. Kinetic energy of rigid body is given by \[K=\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[K=\frac{1}{2I}{{(I\omega )}^{2}}=\frac{{{L}^{2}}}{2I}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[I=\frac{{{L}^{2}}}{2K}\]
