Moment of inertia of a circular wire of ...

Moment of inertia of a circular wire of mass M and radius R about its diameter is

A

`MR^(2)`

B

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

C

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

D

`2MR^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A circular wire acts like a ring.
`therefore" Its M.I. about its diameter "=(1)/(2)MR^(2)`
