Five masses,each of $2\, kg$,are placed on a horizontal circular disc that can rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. All masses are equidistant from the axis at a distance of $10\, cm$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the whole system in $gm-cm^2$. (Assume the disc has negligible mass.)

  • A
    $10^5$
  • B
    $10^4$
  • C
    $10^6$
  • D
    $10^8$

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $\frac{R}{6}$ has moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recasted into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of the sphere about its diameter as axis of rotation is :

$Assertion$ : $A$ judo fighter,in order to throw his opponent onto the mat,tries to initially bend his opponent and then rotate him around his hip.
$Reason$ : As the mass of the opponent is brought closer to the fighter's hip,the moment of inertia of the opponent about the axis of rotation decreases,which makes it easier to rotate the opponent.
