Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

Moment of inertia of a circular wire of mass MM and radius RR about its diameter is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Ring about its central perpendicular axis: Iz=MR2I_z = MR^2.
  2. Perpendicular axis theorem: Iz=Id+Id=2IdI_z = I_{d} + I_{d} = 2I_d (two equal diameters).
  3. Id=MR22I_d = \frac{MR^2}{2}
  4. So the answer is (a) MR22\frac{MR^2}{2}.
