Moment of inertia of a body does not depend upon its

A)  mass                                    

B)  axis of rotation

C)  shape                                  

D)  distribution of mass

E)  angular velocity

Correct Answer: E

Solution :

                The moment of inertia of a particle about an axis is given by the product of the mass of the particle and the square of the distance of the particle from the axis of rotation \[I=\Sigma m{{r}^{2}}\] It does not depend upon the angular velocity.
