Rotational Motion question

2021 · 25 Jul · Shift 1 · Q47

JEE MainPhysicsRotational MotionMCQ+4 / −1
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass 'M' and radius 'R' about X, Y axes (passing through its plane) and Z-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be Ix, Iy and Iz respectively. The respectively radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same. Reason R : A rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
  1. A
    Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  2. B
    A is not correct but R is correct.
  3. C
    A is correct but R is not correct.
  4. D
    Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the moments of inertia of a uniform circular disc about axes through its center:

    • About any diameter in its plane: Ix=Iy=14MR2I_x = I_y = \frac{1}{4}MR^2Ix​=Iy​=41​MR2
    • About the axis perpendicular to the plane through the center: Iz=12MR2I_z = \frac{1}{2}MR^2Iz​=21​MR2
  2. Use the definition of radius of gyration:

    If moment of inertia about an axis is III, then radius of gyration kkk is defined by I=Mk2  ⟹  k=IMI = Mk^2 \implies k = \sqrt{\frac{I}{M}}I=Mk2⟹k=MI​​

  3. Find radii of gyration about the three axes:

    • About xxx-axis: kx=IxM=14R2=R2k_x = \sqrt{\frac{I_x}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}R^2} = \frac{R}{2}kx​=MIx​​​=41​R2​=2R​

    • About yyy-axis: ky=IyM=14R2=R2k_y = \sqrt{\frac{I_y}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}R^2} = \frac{R}{2}ky​=MIy​​​=41​R2​=2R​

    • About zzz-axis: kz=IzM=12R2=R2k_z = \sqrt{\frac{I_z}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}R^2} = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}kz​=MIz​​​=21​R2​=2​R​

  4. Compare them:

    kx=ky=R2,kz=R2k_x = k_y = \frac{R}{2}, \qquad k_z = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}kx​=ky​=2R​,kz​=2​R​

    Clearly, R2≠R2\frac{R}{2} \ne \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}2R​=2​R​

    So the radii of gyration about the three axes are not the same.

    Hence, Assertion A is false.

  5. Check Reason R:

    Reason says: A rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.

    This is true: by definition, a rigid body has fixed shape and size, and its mass is fixed.

    Hence, Reason R is true.

  6. Choose the correct option:

    • Assertion A: False
    • Reason R: True

    Therefore, the correct option is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
