    Five particles of mass 2 kg are attached to the rim of a circular disc of radius 0.1 m and negligible mass. Moment of inertia of the system about the axis passing through the centre of the disc and perpendicular to its place is:

    A)  1 kg\[{{m}^{2}}\]         

    B)  0.1 kg\[{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  2 kg\[{{m}^{2}}\]         

    D)  0.2 kg\[{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The moment of inertia of the given system that contains 5 particles each of mass 2 kg on the rim of circular disc of radius 0.1 m and of negligible mass is .given by \[=MI\]of disc\[+MI\]of particles Since, the mass of the disc is negligible therefore, MI of the system\[=MI\]of particles \[=5\times 2\times {{(0.1)}^{2}}=0.1\,kg\,{{m}^{2}}\]
