Consider a uniform wire of mass \(M\) and length \(L\). It is bent into a semicircle. Its moment of inertia about a line perpendicular to the plane of the wire passing through the centre is :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4} \frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{5} \frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\pi L \Rightarrow r =\frac{ L }{\pi}\) \(I = Mr ^{2}=\frac{ ML ^{2}}{\pi^{2}}\)
