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

Three balls of masses \(2 \mathrm{~kg}, 4 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(6 \mathrm{~kg}\) respectively are arranged at centre of the edges of an equilateral triangle of side \(2 \mathrm{~m}\). The moment of inertia of the system about an axis through the centroid and perpendicular to the plane of triangle, will be _______\(\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}{ }^2\).

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moment of inertia about \(\mathrm{C}\) and perpendicular to the plane is: \(\mathrm{I} =\mathrm{r}^2[2+4+6]\) \(=\frac{1}{3} \times 12\) \(\mathrm{I} =4 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
