Rotational Motion question

2023 · 24 Jan · Shift 1 · Q67

JEE MainPhysicsRotational MotionNumerical+4 / −1
Solid sphere A is rotating about an axis PQ. If the radius of the sphere is 5 cm then its radius of gyration about PQ will be x\sqrt xx​ cm. The value of xxx is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​. JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th January Morning Shift Physics - Rotational Motion Question 60 English

Correct answer: 10

  1. Radius of gyration definition

For a body of mass MMM, if its moment of inertia about a given axis is III, then the radius of gyration kkk is defined by

I=Mk2I = Mk^2I=Mk2

So,

k=IMk = \sqrt{\frac{I}{M}}k=MI​​

  1. Moment of inertia of a solid sphere

For a solid sphere about any diameter,

I=25MR2I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2I=52​MR2

Here, the sphere rotates about axis PQPQPQ, which is a diameter-like axis through its center.

  1. Substitute into the radius of gyration formula

k2=IM=1M(25MR2)=25R2k^2 = \frac{I}{M} = \frac{1}{M}\left(\frac{2}{5}MR^2\right)=\frac{2}{5}R^2k2=MI​=M1​(52​MR2)=52​R2

Given

R=5 cmR = 5\text{ cm}R=5 cm

So,

k2=25(5)2=25⋅25=10k^2 = \frac{2}{5}(5)^2 = \frac{2}{5}\cdot 25 = 10k2=52​(5)2=52​⋅25=10

Hence,

k=10 cmk = \sqrt{10}\text{ cm}k=10​ cm

The question says the radius of gyration is x\sqrt{x}x​ cm, so

x=10x = 10x=10

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 110110110

But the derived value is clearly

x=10x = 10x=10

So the stored answer does not match the physics formula for a solid sphere about a diameter.
