The moment of inertia of a sphere is 20"...

The moment of inertia of a sphere is `20" kg-m"^(2)` about the diameter. The moment of inertia about any tangent is

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

There is a difference between inertia and moment of inertia of a body. The inertia of a body depends only upon the mass of the body but the moment of inertia of a body about an axis not only depends upon the mass of the body but also upon the distribution of mass about the axis of rotation.
