JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

Four identical solid spheres each of mass \('m'\) and radius \('a'\) are placed with their centres on the four corners of a square of side \('b'\). The moment of inertia of the system about one side of square where the axis of rotation is parallel to the plane of the square is

  1. A \(\frac{4}{5} ma ^{2}+2 mb ^{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{5} m a^{2}+m b^{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{5} m a^{2}+2 m b^{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{5} ma ^{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{5} m a^{2}+2 m b^{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I =2 \times\left(\frac{2}{5} ma ^{2}\right)+2 \times\left(\frac{2}{5} ma ^{2}+ mb ^{2}\right)\) \(I =\frac{8}{5} ma ^{2}+2 mb ^{2}\)
