Find the moment of inertia of a hydrogen...

Find the moment of inertia of a hydrogen molecule about an axis passing through its center of mass and perpendicular to the interatomic axis. Given : mass of hydrogen atom `1.7 xx 10^(-27)` kg and inter atomic distance is equal to `4 xx 10^(-10)` m.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Moment of inertia
`I=2m(R/2)^(2)=(MR^(2))/2`
`I=(1.7xx10^(-27)xx4x4xx10^(-20))/2`
`=1.36xx10^(-46)kgm^(2)`
