Q.

The moment of inertia of a semicircular ring about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is 1xMR2, where R is the radius and M is the mass of the semicircular ring. The value of x will be _______ .         [2023]


Ans.

(1)

The moment of inertia of a semicircular ring about an axis passing through the centre of the ring and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is =MR2

So x=1
