Five solid spheres each of mass ' 
' and radius ' 
' are rotating about an axis 
as shown in figure. Hence the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
: M.I of solid sphere about its axis 
where ' 
' is mass of solid sphere and ' 
' is radius of solid sphere.
So, M. I of system about 
is
(By parallel axis theorem)
