The radius of gyration of a solid sphere of mass \(5 \, \text{kg}\) about \(XY\) is \(5 \, \text{m}\) as shown in figure.
The radius of the sphere is \(\frac{5x}{\sqrt{7}} \, \text{m}\), then the value of \(x\) is:
The radius of the sphere is \(\frac{5x}{\sqrt{7}} \, \text{m}\), then the value of \(x\) is:
- \(5\)
- \(\sqrt{2}\)
- \(\sqrt{3}\)
- \(\sqrt{5}\)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Ixy = ICM + MR2 = $\frac{2}{5}$MR2 + MR2 = $\frac{7}{5}$MR2 = $\frac{7}{5}$ × 5R2 = 7R2 ...(1)
Ixy = MK2 = 5 × 52 ...(2)
5 × 52 = 7 × R2 [From (1) and (2)]
$\implies R = \sqrt{\frac{5}{7}} \times 5 = \frac{5x}{\sqrt{7}}$ (Given)
x = √5
Top Questions on Moment Of Inertia
A circular disc has radius \( R_1 \) and thickness \( T_1 \). Another circular disc made of the same material has radius \( R_2 \) and thickness \( T_2 \). If the moments of inertia of both the discs are same and \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = 2, \quad \text{then} \quad \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{1}{\alpha}. \] The value of \( \alpha \) is __________.

- A person sitting inside an elevator performs a weighing experiment with an object of mass $ 50 \, \text{kg} $. Suppose that the variation of the height $ y $ (in m) of the elevator, from the ground, with time $ t $ (in s) is given by $$ y = 8\left[1 + \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{T}\right)\right], $$ where $ T = 40\pi \, \text{s} $. Taking acceleration due to gravity, $ g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 $, the maximum variation of the object's weight (in N) as observed in the experiment is ____.
