10: Rotational Mechanics
- #16A body having its centre of mass at the origin has three of its particles at (a,0,0), (0,a,0), (0,0,a). The moments of inertia of the body about the X and Y axes are 0⋅20 kg-m2 each. The moment of inertia about the Z-axis
(a) is 0⋅20 kg-m2
(b) is 0⋅40 kg-m2
(c) is
0·202kg-m2
(d) cannot be deduced with this information.digAnsr: dAns : (d) cannot be deduced with this information.
Ix = m2a2 + m3a2 = 0.20 ...(i)
Iy = m1a2 + m3a2 = 0.20 ...(ii)
Iz = m1a2 + m2a2 ...(iii)
We have three equations and four variables. So, Iz cannot be deduced with the given information.
