This question... Q. A wire frame AOPQB, lying in the horizontal plane, is free to rotate about a vertical axis passing through center C of the same circle and perpendicular to plane of AOPQB. The mass M of the frame is uniformly distributed over its whole length. The moment of inertia of the frame about this axis, is (OA = QB = r and CP = r the radius of semicircular part) :- A M r 2 14 + 3 π 3 π + 6 B M r 2 14 + 3 π π + 2 C M r 2 2 π 2 + π D 1 2 M r 2 Share with your friends Share 8 Vijay Shankar Yadav answered this Dear student, here total mass is M and total length of the wire =2r+πrhence linear mass density(λ)=M2r+πrso moment of inertia of part AOIAO==∫r2rx2 ·dm=∫r2rλx2 ·dx=λr33r2r=λ8r33-r33=7λr33=7Mr23(π+2)similarly for QB partIQB= 7λr33=7Mr23(π+2)and moment of inertia for semicircular part =mr2 =λπr3=M2r+πrr3=πM2+πr2so total moment of inertia of the system=IAO+IQB+IOPQ=7Mr23(π+2)+7Mr23(π+2)+πM2+πr2=M(14+3π)(2+π)r2 Regard 11 View Full Answer
