Answers
Question :
The moment of inertia of a circular ring of mass 1 kg about an Axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is 4 kg metre square .Find diameter of the Ring.
Theory :
•Moment of Inertia
The virtue by which a body revolving around an Axis opposes the change in rotation motion is known as moment of inertia.
•Moment of inertia of ring about an Axis perpendicular to plane passing through centre of mass:
Solution :
Given :
Mass of circular ring,M = 1kg
Moment of inertia of Ring,axis ( perpendicular to plane passing through centre of mass)= 4 kgm²
I =Mr²
put the values ;
Since the radius cannot be negative
Thus, r = 2
Therefore diameter of ring = 4m

More About Moment of Intertia:
1) moment of inertia depends upon :
•mass of the body
•mass distribution of body
•position of axis of rotation
•in shape ,size and density
2) SI unit is kg-m²
3) CGS unit is g-cm²
