Physics · SYSTEMS OF PARTICLES AND ROTATIONAL MOTION
हिन्दीConsider the following bodies, each of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \): (A) Thin circular ring about its central perpendicular axis (B) Circular disc about its diameter (C) Solid sphere about its diameter (D) Solid cylinder about its geometric axis Which of the following represents the correct descending order of their moments of inertia? Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct answer · Option D
\( (A) > (D) > (C) > (B) \)
Explanation
\( I_A = 1.0 M R^2 \), \( I_D = 0.5 M R^2 \), \( I_C = 0.4 M R^2 \), \( I_B = 0.25 M R^2 \). Thus the correct order is (A) > (D) > (C) > (B).
