A thin wire of length L and uniform linear mass density p is bent into a circular loop with centre at O as shown. The moment of inertia of the loop about the axis XX' is

Answer»

`(pL^(3))/(8pi^(2))`
`(pL^(3))/(16pi^(2))`
`(5pL^(3))/(16pi^(2))`
`(3pL^(3))/(8pi^(2))`

Solution :Mass per unit LENGTH of wire = p,
`therefore` Mass of wire = pL
Since the wire of length L is TURNED into a circle,
`2piR=LrArrR=L/(2PI)`
M.I. of loop about given axis = `MR^(2)+(MR^(2))/2=3/2MR^(2)`
M.I. of loop =`3/2xx(pL)(L/(2pi))^(2)=3/8.(pL^(3))/(pi^(2))`
