QUESTION:

Calculate the moment of inertia of each of the following uniform objects about the axes indicated. Consult Table 9.2 as needed.

(a) A thin \(2.50-\mathrm{kg}\) rod of length \(75.0 \mathrm{~cm}\), about an axis perpendicular to it and passing through (i) one end and (ii) its center, and (iii) about an axis parallel to the rod and passing through it.

(b) A \(\text { 3.00-kg }\) sphere \(38.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) in diameter, about an axis through its center, if the sphere is (i) solid and (ii) a thin-walled hollow shell.

(c) An \(8.00-\mathrm{kg}\) cylinder, of length \(19.5 \mathrm{~cm}\) and diameter \(12.0 \mathrm{~cm}\), about the central axis of the cylinder, if the cylinder is (i) thin-walled and hollow, and (ii) solid.

ANSWER:

Solution to 31E

Step 1

(a)

Mass of the rod=2.5kg

Length of the rod =75cm=0.75m

(i)axis passing through one end

I=(⅓)ML2

I=(⅓)(2.5x0.75)

I=0.469kgm2

(ii)Axis through centre of rod

I=(1/12)ML2

I=(1/12)(2.5x0.75)

I=0.117kgm2

(iii)For a very thin rod, since the mass is near to the axis, thus the Moment of Inertia =0
