Moment of inertia of a spinning body about an axis doesn't depend on which of the following factors? a) Distribution of mass around the axis b) Orientation of the axis c) Mass d) Angular velocity
Madhur L.
For the moment of inertia of a rigid body with respect to an axis, which statement below is true? A. It depends on the mass of the rigid body and the spatial distribution of the mass, independent of the position of the axis. B. It depends on the mass of the rigid body, the spatial distribution of the mass, and the position of the axis. C. It depends only on the mass of the rigid body, independent of the spatial distribution of the mass and the position of the axis. D. It depends only on the position of the rotating axis, independent of the mass of the rigid body and the spatial distribution of the mass.

If a rigid body is rolling on a horizontal surface without application of any external force, its angular momentum is constant (a) only about points lying on line of travel of $\mathrm{CM}$ (b) (a) or about the instantaneous point of contact (c) (a) or (b) or any point lying on the horizontal surface (d) (a) or (b) or any point in space
