    The radius of gyration of a body about an axis at a distance \[6\text{ }cm\] from its centre of mass is\[10\text{ }cm\]. Then its radius of gyration about a parallel axis through its centre of mass will be

    A)  \[80\,\,cm\]        

    B)  \[8\,\,cm\]

    C)  \[0.8\,\,cm\]       

    D)  \[80\,\,m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From the theorem of parallel axis, the moment of inertia I is equal to \[I={{I}_{CM}}+M{{a}^{2}}\] where \[{{I}_{CM}}\]where moment of inertia is about centre of mass and a the distance of axis from centre. \[\therefore \] \[I=M{{K}^{2}}+M\times {{(6)}^{2}}\] \[MK_{1}^{2}=M{{K}^{2}}+36M\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[K_{1}^{2}={{K}^{2}}+36\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(10)}^{2}}={{K}^{2}}+36\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{K}^{2}}=100-36=64\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[K=8cm\]
