Question
The M.L. about an axis of symmetry is given by (mass x sum of square of perpendicular semi axes) $\times \frac{1}{n}$. Then:(a) if $n=3$, body is rectangular(b) if $n=4$, body is elliptical(c) if $n=5$, body is spherical(d) all the above
Step 1
L.) of a body about an axis of symmetry is given by the formula: \[M.L. = \text{mass} \times \left(\text{sum of square of perpendicular semi axes}\right) \times \frac{1}{n}\] where 'n' is a constant that depends on the shape of the body. Show more…

Round 2
Four spheres, each of mass $M$ and radius $r$ are situated at the four corners of square of side $R$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the plane of square and passing through its centre will be (a) $\frac{5}{2} M\left(4 r^{2}+5 R^{2}\right)$ (b) $\frac{2}{5} M\left(4 r^{2}+5 R^{2}\right)$ (c) $\frac{2}{5} M\left(4 r^{2}+5 r^{2}\right)$ (d) $\frac{5}{2} M\left(4 r^{2}+5 r^{2}\right)$
The moment of inertia of a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its centre is $\frac{2}{5} M R^{2}$. The radius of gyration of the sphere about a parallel axis to the above and tangent to the sphere is (a) $\frac{7}{5} R$ (b) $\frac{3}{5} R$ (c) $\left(\sqrt{\frac{7}{5}}\right) R$ (d) $\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}\right) R$
