The moment of inertia of a sphere (mass $M$ and radius $R$) about it’s diameter is $I$. Four such spheres are arranged as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the system about axis $XX'$ will be
$3\,I$
$5\,I$
$7\,I$
$9\,I$
Consider a two particle system with particles having masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the first particle is pushed towards the centre of mass through a distance $d$, by what distance should the second particle be moved, so as to keep the centre of mass at the same position?
A smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size, each of mass $m$ , which can slide freely along the rod. Initially the two beads are at the centre of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity $\omega _0$ about its axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its mid-point (see figure). There are no external forces. When the beads reach the ends of the rod, the angular velocity of the system is
$ ABC$ is a triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are in the ratio shown in the figure. $I_{AB}, I_{BC}, I_{CA}$ are the moment of inertia of the plate about $AB, BC$ and $CA$ respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct
A straight rod of length $L$ has one of its ends at the origin and the other at $x = L$. If the mass per unit length of the rod is given by $Ax$ (where $A$ is a constant), then where is its mass centre from origin ?
The moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ about an axis passing through the rod from a point at a distance of $L/3$ from one of its ends perpendicular to the rod is
