With reference to the figure of a cube of edge a and mass m, the following statements are given. (O is the centre of the cube).
(a) The moment of inertia of the cube about the z-axis is
(b) The moment of inertia of cube about z'-axis is
(c) The moment of inertia of cube about z"-axis is
(d)
Choose the correct statements:
1. (a, c)
2. (a, d)
3. (b, d)
4. (b, c)
Assertion (A): | If the same mass is drawn into the making of a solid sphere and a hollow sphere, the moment of inertia about the diameter of a hollow body is greater than that of a solid body. |
Reason (R): | The moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution from the axis of rotation and in a hollow sphere, more of the mass is further away from the axis of rotation. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | When a body rotates in a circle around any axis, all its particles move along a circle in different radii but with the same angular velocity. |
Reason (R): | The moment of inertia is a vector quantity. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
