  • $ 1\,kg\,m^{2} $
  • $ 0.1\,kg\,m^{2} $
  • $ 2\,kg\,m^{2} $
  • $ 0.2\,kg\,m^{2}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

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 particle
Since the mass of the disc is negligible therefore, $MI$ of the system $= MI $ of particle
$=5 \times 2 \times(0.1)^{2}=0.1 \,kg \,m ^{2}$

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.
