  • $ 0.25\,kg-m^{2} $
  • $ 2.5\,kg-m^{2} $
  • $ 4.5\,kg-m^{2} $
  • $ 25\,kg-m^{2} $

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Torque, $ \tau =I\omega $
Moment of inertia, $ I=\frac{\tau }{\omega } $
$ =\frac{3.14}{4\times \pi } $
$ =\frac{3.14}{4\times 3.14}=\frac{1}{4} $
$ =0.25\,kg-m^{2} $

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
