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

Solid sphere \(A\) is rotating about an axis \(PQ\). If the radius of the sphere is \(5\,cm\) then its radius of gyration about \(P Q\) will be \(\sqrt{x} \;cm\). The value of \(x\) is \(................\).

  1. A \(110\)
  2. B \(55\)
  3. C \(10.48\)
  4. D \(100\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(110\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I _{ cm }=\frac{2}{5} MR ^2\) \(I _{ PQ }= I _{ cm }+ md ^2\) \(I _{ PQ }=\frac{2}{5} mR ^2+ m (10\,cm )^2\) For radius of gyration \(I _{ PQ }= mk ^2\) \(k ^2=\frac{2}{5} R ^2+(10\,cm )^2\) \(=\frac{2}{5}(5)^2+100\) \(=10+100=110\) \(k =\sqrt{110}\,cm\) \(x =110\)
