Does the moment of inertia of a rigid body change with the axis of rotation?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the moment of inertia of a rigid body changes with the axis of rotation, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Moment of Inertia**: The moment of inertia (I) of a rigid body is defined as the sum of the products of the mass of each particle in the body and the square of its distance from the axis of rotation. For a discrete system of n particles, the formula is given by: \[ I = \sum_{i=1}^{n} m_i r_i^2 ...

Moment Of Inertia Of Rigid Body

Show that the moment of inertia of a body about the given axis of rotation is equal to twice the kinetic energy of rotation of the body rotating with unit angular velocity

The angular momentum of a body is 31.4 Js and its rate of revolution is 10 cycles per second. Calculate the moment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation.

A rigid body is rotating about a vertical axis. In t second, the axis gradually becomes horizontal. But the rigid body continues to make v rotations per second throughout the time interval of 1 second. If the moment of inertia I of the body about the axis of rotation can he taken as constant, then the torque acting on the body is

Calculate the moment of inertia of a body about its axis of rotation if its angular momentum is 62.8 Js and it has 10 revolutions per second.

Statement-1 : Moment of inertia of a body is same, whatever be the axis of rotation. Statement-2 : Moment of inertia depends on mass and size of rotation of the body.

Statement-1 : Moment of inertia of a particle is same, whatever be the axis of rotation. Statement-2 : Moment of inertia depends on mass and perpendicular distance of the particle from its axis of rotation.

A rigid body is rotating about a vertical axis at n rotations per minute, If the axis slowly becomes horizontal in t seconds and the body keeps on rotating at n rotations per minute then the torque acting on the body will be, if the moment of inertia of the body about axis of rotation is I.

The moment of inertia of a body does not depend on
