qi: What do you understand by moment of inertia?
Ans. Moment of inertia is defined as the property by virtue of which a
body opposes the change in its present state of rotatory motion or
state of rest. Numerically it is defined as
Moment of inertia, 7 =)’ mr?
where, m is the mass and, is the distance of mass from axis of
rotation.
On which factors does moment of inertia depends? What
is its unit?
Moment of inertia depends upon the mass and distribution of
* mmass about axis of rotation. Its SI unit is kg-m?.
. Which will have more moment of inertia-a ring or a dise of
"same mass?
Moment of inertia of ring is more than that of dise. Moments of
* inertia of some bodies are as follows
(i) Ring of mass M and radius R (About line passing through
centre and perpendicular to the plane of ring) = MR?
