    The radius of gyration of a body about an axis at a distance 6 cm from its centre of mass is 10 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. \[\therefore \]  \[I=M{{K}^{2}}+M\times {{(6)}^{2}}\] \[MK_{1}^{2}=M{{K}^{2}}+36M\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[K_{1}^{2}={{K}^{2}}+36\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(10)}^{2}}={{K}^{2}}+36\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{K}^{2}}=100-36=64\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[K=8\text{ }cm\]
