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

The moment of inertia of a circular ring of mass \(M\) and diameter r about a tangential axis lying in the plane of the ring is :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{Mr}^2\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{Mr}^2\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{Mr}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{Mr}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Diameter is given as R. \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Radius }=\mathrm{R} / 2 \\ & \mathrm{I}_{\text {tan gent }}=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)^2=\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{mR}^2 \end{aligned}\)
