Let the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder of length 30 cm (inner radius 10 cm and outer radius 20 cm), about its axis be I. The radius of a thin cylinder of the same mass such that its moment of inertia about its axis is also I, is :
- A16 cm
- B12 cm
- C14 cm
- D18 cm
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder
For a hollow cylinder of mass , inner radius , and outer radius , the moment of inertia about its own axis is
Given:
So,
- Moment of inertia of the thin cylinder
A thin cylinder (thin-walled hollow cylinder) of radius and same mass has moment of inertia about its axis:
Since this is equal to the given ,
Cancelling ,
Thus,
- Choose the nearest option
So the correct option is A.
