You are given a cube, a ring, a cylinder and a sphere, all having equal masses and cross sections with equal heights and maximum widths. Which one has the largest and which one has smallest moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the cross section and passing through the centre of mass.

Answer»

Solution :We KNOW that `I sum(mr^2)`. Here ring has the largest moment of inertia because it.s mass is situated farthest from the AXIS of rotation while the sphere has least moment of inertia as it.s mass is NEAREST to the axis of rotation.
