Three identical spherical shells, each of mass m and radius r are placed as shown in figure. Consider an axis XX' which is touching to two shells and passing through diameter of third shell. Moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about XX' axis is


- A
- B4mr2
- C
- D3mr2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Net moment of inertia of the system,
I = I1 + I2 + I3
The moment of inertia of a shell about its diameter,
I1 = mr2
The moment of inertia of a shell about its tangent is
