Find the moment of inertia of a solid sphere of mass `M` and radias `R` about an axis XX shown in figure.

A

`(7)/(5)MR^(2)`

B

`(4)/(5)MR^(2)`

C

`(3)/(5)MR^(2)`

D

`(2)/(5)MR^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


From theorem of parallel axis
`I_(XX)=I_(COM)+Mr^(2)=(2)/(5)MR^(2)+MR^(2)`
`=(7)/(5)MR^(2)`
Radius of gyration `K=sqrt((I)/(M))=sqrt(((7)/(5)MR^(2))/(M))=sqrt((7)/(5))R`
