A thin wire of length $$L$$ and uniform linear mass density $$\rho $$ is bent into a circular loop with centre at $$O$$ as shown. The moment of inertia of the loop about the axis $$XX’$$ is
Moment of inertia about the diameter of the circular loop (ring) $$ = \frac{1}{2}M{R^2}$$
Using parallel axis theorem
The moment of inertia of the loop about $$XX’$$ axis is
$${I_{XX'}} = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} + M{R^2} = \frac{3}{2}M{R^2}$$
Where $$M\,=$$ mass of the loop and $$R \,=$$ radius of the loop
Here $$M = L\rho $$ and $$R = \frac{L}{{2\pi }};$$
$$\therefore {I_{XX'}} = \frac{3}{2}\left( {L\rho } \right){\left( {\frac{L}{{2\pi }}} \right)^2} = \frac{{3{L^3}\rho }}{{8{\pi ^2}}}$$

From a disc of radius $$R$$ and mass $$M,$$ a circular hole of diameter $$R,$$ whose rim passes through the centre is cut. What is the moment of inertia of the remaining part of the disc about a perpendicular axis, passing through the centre?
Considering the information given in the question, let us draw the figure
If the above figure is considered, then moment of inertia of disc will be given as
$$I = {I_{{\text{remain}}}} + {I_{\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)}} \Rightarrow {I_{{\text{remain}}}} = I - {I_{\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)}}$$
Putting the values, we get
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} - \left[ {\frac{{\frac{M}{4}{{\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)}^2}}}{2} + \frac{M}{4}{{\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)}^2}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} - \left[ {\frac{{M{R^2}}}{{32}} + \frac{{M{R^2}}}{{16}}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} - \left[ {\frac{{M{R^2} + 2M{R^2}}}{{32}}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} - \frac{{3M{R^2}}}{{32}} = \frac{{16M{R^2} - 3M{R^2}}}{{32}} \cr
& {I_{{\text{remain }}}} = \frac{{13M{R^2}}}{{32}} \cr} $$

When a mass is rotating in a plane about a fixed point, its angular momentum is directed along
A
a line perpendicular to the plane of rotation
B
the line making an angle of $${45^ \circ }$$ to the plane of rotation
C
the radius
D
the tangent to the orbit
Answer :
a line perpendicular to the plane of rotation
As we know that
Angular momentum $$L = m\left( {r \times v} \right)$$
So, here angular momentum is directed along a line perpendicular to the plane of rotation.

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc (figure) is maximum about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through
According to parallel axis theorem of the moment of Inertia
$$I = {I_{cm}} + m{d^2}$$
$$d$$ is maximum for point $$B$$ so $${I_{\max }}$$ about $$B.$$

From a solid sphere of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ a cube of maximum possible volume is cut. Moment of inertia of cube about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to one of its faces is:
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Here }}a = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}R \cr
& {\text{Now, }}\frac{M}{{M'}} = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{a^3}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}R} \right)}^3}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\pi .\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,M' = \frac{{2m}}{{\sqrt 3 \pi }} \cr} $$
Moment of inertia of the cube about the given axis,
$$I = \frac{{M'{a^2}}}{6} = \frac{{\frac{{2M}}{{\sqrt 3 \pi }} \times {{\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}R} \right)}^2}}}{6} = \frac{{4M{R^2}}}{{9\sqrt 3 \pi}}$$

$$ABC$$ is a right angled triangular plate of uniform thickness. The sides are such that $$AB > BC$$ as shown in figure. $${I_1},{I_1},{I_3}$$ are moments of inertia about $$AB,\,BC$$ and $$AC$$ respectively. Then, which of the following relations is correct?
The moment of inertia of a body about an axis depends not only on the mass of the body, but also on the distribution of mass from the axis. For a given body, mass is same, so it will depend only on the distribution of mass from the axis.
The mass is farthest from axis $$BC,$$ so $${I_2}$$ is maximum. Mass is nearest to axis $$AC,$$ so $${I_3}$$ is minimum. Hence, the correct sequence will be $${I_2} > {I_1} > {I_3}$$ NOTE
In a rotational motion, moment of inertia is also known as rotational inertia.

A mass $$m$$ hangs with the help of a string wrapped around a pulley on a frictionless bearing. The pulley has mass $$m$$ and radius $$R.$$ Assuming pulley to be a perfect uniform circular disc, the acceleration of the mass $$m,$$ if the string does not slip on the pulley, is:
For translational motion,
$$mg-T=ma\,.....(1)$$
For rotational motion,
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{T}}{\text{.R}}{\text{.}} = I\alpha = I\frac{a}{R}\,.....(2) \cr
& {\text{Solving (1) and (2)}} \cr
& a = \frac{{mg}}{{\left( {m + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}} = \frac{{mg}}{{m + \frac{{m{R^2}}}{{2{R^2}}}}} = \frac{{2mg}}{{3m}} = \frac{{2g}}{3} \cr} $$

A rod $$PQ$$ of mass $$M$$ and length $$L$$ is hinged at end $$P.$$ The rod is kept horizontal by a massless string tied to a point $$Q$$ as shown in figure. When string is cut, the initial angular acceleration of the rod is
Torque on the rod is equal to moment of weight of rod about $$P.$$
Torque on the rod = Moment of weight of the rod about $$P$$
$$\tau = Mg\frac{L}{2}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
$$\because $$ Moment of inertia of rod
about $$P = \frac{{M{L^2}}}{3}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
As $$\tau = I\alpha $$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$Mg\frac{L}{2} = \frac{{M{L^2}}}{3}\alpha \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{{3g}}{{2L}}$$

If $${I_{xy}}$$ is the moment of inertia of a ring about a tangent in the plane of the ring and $${I_{x'y'}}$$ is the moment of inertia of a ring about a tangent perpendicular to the plane of the ring then
$${I_{xy}},$$ moment of inertia of a ring about its tangent in the plane of ring $${I_{{x^1}y}} = \frac{3}{2}M{R^2}$$
Moment of inertia about a tangent perpendicular to the plane of ring $${I_{xy}} = 2M{R^2}$$
$$\therefore {I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}\left( {2M{R^2}} \right) = \frac{3}{2}M{R^2}\,or\,{I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}{I_{{x^1}{y^1}}}$$

A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its centre. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $${\omega _0}.$$ When the tortoise move along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $$\omega \left( t \right)$$ will vary with time $$t$$ as-
Since there is no external torque, angular momentum remains conserved. As
moment of inertia initially decreases and then increases, so $$\omega $$ will increase initially and then decreases. Note : The $$M.I.$$ of the system decreases when the
tortoise move from $$A$$ to $$B$$ and then increases from $$B$$
to $$A.$$
So the variation of $$\omega $$ is nonlinear.
