Assertion: The moment of inertia of rigid body depends only on the mass of the body, its shape and size.
Reason: Moment of inertia `I = MR^2` where `M` is the mass of the body and `R` is the radius vector.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The moment of inertia of a rigid body depends on the mass of the body, its shape and size, distribution of mass about the axis rotation, and the position and orientation of the axis of rotation.
