Find the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder of mass M and radius R about a line parallel to the axis of the cylinder and on the surface of the cylinder.

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By parallel axis theorem,
`I=(MR^(2))/(2)+MR^(2)=(3)/(2)MR^(2)`
