The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Moment of inertia of circular ring about an axis passing through its center of mass and perpendicular to its plane
$I=M R^{2}$
here $I=4\, k g-m^{2}$
$m =1\, kg$
$=R^{2}=\frac{4}{1}=4 R=2\, m$
Therefore, diameter of ring $=4\, m$

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.
