Three identical spherical shells, each of mass 
and radius 
are placed as shown in figure. Consider an axis 
, which is touching the two shells and passing through diameter of third shell. Moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spherical shells about 
axis is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The total moment of inertia of the system,
… (i)
Here 
(From parallel axes theorem)
From Eq. (i), we get
