Four equal masses, each are placed at the corners of a square of length as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through and parallel to would be :




A wheel of mass has moment of inertia equal to Then its radius of gyration equals

For a uniform rectangular sheet shown in the figure, the ratio of moments of inertia about the axes perpendicular to the sheet and passing through (the centre of mass) and ' (corner point) is:

A thin uniform rectangular plate of mass is placed in plane as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about -axis is and the moment of inertia about - axis is . The radius of gyration of the plate about the axis passing through and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is





Moment of inertia of four bodies, having same mass and radius, are reported as;
of thin circular ring about its diameter,
of circular disc about an axis perpendicular to disc and going through the centre,
of solid cylinder about its axis and
of solid sphere about its diameter.
Then:






Three identical spherical shells, each of mass and radius are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis which is touching the two shells and passing through the diameter of the third shell. The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about axis is:
