Let the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder of length \(30\, cm\) (inner radius \(10\, cm\) and outer radius \(20\, cm\)), about its axis be \(I\). The radius of a thin cylinder of the same mass such that its moment of inertia about its axis is also \(I\), is ......... \(cm\).

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(16\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(18\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r = 10 cm\) mass per unit \(R = 20 cm\) area \(Mass = m\) \(\sigma = \frac{m}{{\pi \left( {{R^2} - {r^2}} \right)}}\) Consider an element of radius \(x\) and thickness \(dx\) Mass of element \(dm =\) \(\sigma \,2\pi \times x\left( {dx} \right)\) Moment of inertia of element,…
