Four masses are attached to a light circular frame of radius $a$ as shown in the figure. The radius of gyration of this system about an axis passing through the center $O$ of the circular frame and perpendicular to its plane is:

  • A
    $a/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $a/2$
  • C
    $a$
  • D
    $2a$

What is the unit of moment of inertia in the $MKS$ system?

Two circular rings $A$ and $B$ of radii $nR$ and $R$ are made from the same wire. The moment of inertia of $A$ about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of $A$ is $64$ times that of the ring $B$. The value of $n$ is:

$A$ ring,a solid sphere,and a disc have the same mass and radius. Which of them has the largest moment of inertia?

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.)
