Shown in the figure is a hollow icecream cone (it is open at the top). If its mass is \(M,\) radius of its top, \(R\) and height, \(H\), then its moment of inertia about its axis is

  1. A \(\frac{ MR ^{2}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{ MH ^{2}}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{ MR ^{2}}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{ M \left( R ^{2}+ H ^{2}\right)}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{ MR ^{2}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area \(=\pi R \ell=\pi R \left(\sqrt{ H ^{2}+ R ^{2}}\right)\) Area of element \(d A =2 \pi rd \ell==2 \pi r \frac{ dh }{\cos \theta}\) mass of element \(dm =\frac{ M }{\pi R \sqrt{ H ^{2}+ R ^{2}}} \times \frac{2 \pi rdh }{\cos \theta}\)…
