Five particles of mass \(2\) kg each are attached to the circumference of a circular disc of a radius of \(0.1\) m and negligible mass. The moment of inertia of the system about the axis passing through the centre of the disc and perpendicular to its plane will be:
1. \(1\) kg-m2
2. \(0.1\) kg-m2
3. \(2\) kg-m2
4. \(0.2\) kg-m2
A light rod of length \(l\) has two masses, \(m_1\) and \(m_2,\) attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is:
1. \(\frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}l^2\)
2. \(\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1m_2}l^2\)
3. \((m_1+m_2)l^2\)
4. \(\sqrt{(m_1m_2)}l^2\)
The one-quarter sector is cut from a uniform circular disc of radius R. This sector has a mass M. It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre of the original disc. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation will be:
1. | \(\frac{1}{2} M R^2 \) | 2. | \(\frac{1}{4} M R^2 \) |
3. | \(\frac{1}{8} M R^2 \) | 4. | \(\sqrt{2} M R^2\) |
Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii \(R_1=R\) and \(R_2=\alpha R\) made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia, \(I_1\) and\(I_2,\) respectively, about their axes is \(I_1:I_2=1:16,\)then the value of \(\alpha\) is:
1. \(\sqrt{2}\)
2. \(4\)
3. \(2\)
4. \(2\sqrt{2}\)
