The correct Answer is:
To find the rate at which the moment of inertia \( I \) of a solid is changing, we start with the formula for the moment of inertia about its geometrical axis: \[ I = \frac{2}{5} M R^2 \] Where: - \( M \) is the mass of the solid, - \( R \) is the radius of the solid. Given: - \( M = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \) - The rate of change of radius \( \frac{dR}{dt} = 2 \, \text{m/s} \) ### Step 1: Express Mass in terms of Density and Volume Since the density \( \rho \) is constant, we can express mass \( M \) in terms of density and volume. The volume \( V \) of a solid sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Thus, the mass \( M \) can be expressed as: \[ M = \rho V = \rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) \] ### Step 2: Substitute Mass into the Moment of Inertia Formula Substituting \( M \) into the moment of inertia formula gives: \[ I = \frac{2}{5} \left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) R^2 = \frac{8}{15} \pi \rho R^5 \] ### Step 3: Differentiate Moment of Inertia with Respect to Time Now, we differentiate \( I \) with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{8}{15} \pi \rho \frac{d}{dt}(R^5) \] Using the chain rule, we have: \[ \frac{d}{dt}(R^5) = 5R^4 \frac{dR}{dt} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{8}{15} \pi \rho \cdot 5R^4 \frac{dR}{dt} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Known Values Now we substitute the known values into the equation: - \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \) - \( \frac{dR}{dt} = 2 \, \text{m/s} \) We also need to find the density \( \rho \) using the mass and volume at \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \): \[ \rho = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{1 \, \text{kg}}{\frac{4}{3} \pi (1)^3} = \frac{3}{4\pi} \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] Now substituting \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \) and \( \rho = \frac{3}{4\pi} \): \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{8}{15} \pi \left(\frac{3}{4\pi}\right) \cdot 5(1^4)(2) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression Now simplify the expression: \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{8}{15} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \cdot 5 \cdot 2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{8 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 2}{15 \cdot 4} = \frac{240}{60} = 4 \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the rate at which the moment of inertia is changing is: \[ \frac{dI}{dt} = 4 \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \]

To find the rate at which the moment of inertia \( I \) of a solid is changing, we start with the formula for the moment of inertia about its geometrical axis: \[ I = \frac{2}{5} M R^2 \] Where: - \( M \) is the mass of the solid, ...
