1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Evening Shift )

A thin wire of length ' L ' and uniform linear mass density ' m ' is bent into a circular coil. The moment of inertia of this coil about tangential axis and in plane of the coil is

A. 3   mL 2 5 π 2

B. 3   mL 3 8 π 2

C. 3   mL 3 4 π 2

D. 3   mL 2 7 π 2

Correct Option is (B)

Moment of inertia of thin wire:

I = M 2 2 M = v × m  and  L = 2 π R R = L 2 π I = L m 2 ( L 2 π ) 2 I = m L 3 8 π 2

Using Parallel axis theorem:

I = I + M R 2 I = m L 3 8 π 2 + L m ( L 2 π ) 2 I = 3 m L 3 8 π 2

I 1 is the moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc. I 2 is its moment of inertia about an axis A B perpendicular to plane and parallel to axis CM at a distance 2 R 3 from centre. The ratio of I 1 and I 2 is x : 17 . The value of ' x ' is (R = radius of the disc)

A. 9

B. 12

C. 15

D. 17

Correct Option is (A)

Using Parallel axis theorem, I 2 = I 1 + Mh 2

For a disc, I 1 = 1 2 M R 2 and given that, h = 2 R 3

I 2 = 1 2 MR 2 + M ( 4 R 2 9 ) I 2 = 1 2 MR 2 ( 1 + 8 9 ) = I 1 × 17 9 I 1 I 2 = 9 17

B. 11 MR 2 32

C. 9 MR 2 32

D. 7 MR 2 32

Correct Option is (A)

MHT CET 2023 11th May Evening Shift Physics - Rotational Motion Question 16 English Explanation

Moment of inertia of disc is given by

I disc  = I r + I hole  . { I r = M.I. of remaining part }

I r = I disc  I hole  ..... (i)

I disc = MR 2 2 ..... (ii)

By parallel axes theorem we get,

I hole  = [ M 4 ( R 2 ) 2 2 + M 4 ( R 2 ) 2 ]

. { M hole  = M dise  4  the surface density is same  }

I hole  = [ MR 2 32 + MR 2 16 ] ..... (iii)

Substituting eq (iii) and eq (ii) in eq (i) we get,

I r = MR 2 2 MR 2 32 MR 2 16 = MR 2 [ 1 2 1 32 1 16 ] = 13 32 MR 2

Radius of gyration of a thin uniform circular disc about the axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is K c . Radius of gyration of the same disc about a diameter of the disc is K d . The ratio K c : K d is

A. 2 : 1

B. 1 : 2

C. 2 : 1

D. 1 : 4

Correct Option is (A)

Let the radius of the disc be R

K c = R 2 K d = R 2

Taking the ratio,

K c K d = R 2 R 2 = 2 1
