A uniform disc and a hollow right circular cone have the same formula for their M.I , when rotating about their central axes .Why is it so? |

Answer» tion:Let us first TRY to find the Moment of Inertia of a Hollow right circular cone. The formula for finding the moment of inertia isI=∫ 2Mx/ (R2+H2) x R2/(R2+H2) x2 dxwhere H is the height of the cone, R is the radius and x is the small distance.When we do the integration of above EQUATION, we shall write the moment of interia as;I = 1/2MR².Now for a UNIFORM DISC, the moment of inertia is;I = 1/2πρtr⁴ = 1/2Mr².Comparing the two, we can say that a uniform disc and a hollow right circular cone have the same formula for their M.I , when rotating about their central AXES |
