A metallic ring of mass 1 kg has moment of inertia 1 kg m² when rotating about one of its diameters. It is molten and
remoulded into a thin uniform disc of the same radius. How much will its moment of inertia be, when rotated about its own
axis.​

Answer:

The moment of inertia of disc about own axis is 1 kg-m².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ring m= 1 kg

Moment of inertia of ring at diameter [tex](I_{r})_{d}=1\ kg\ m^{2}[/tex]

The radius of metallic ring and uniform disc both are equal.

So, [tex]R_{r}=R_{d}[/tex]

We need to calculate the value of radius of ring and disc

Using theorem of perpendicular axes

[tex](I_{r})_{c}=2\times (I_{r})_{d}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex](I_{r})_{c}=2\times1[/tex]

[tex](I_{r})_{c}=2\ kg\ m^2[/tex]

Put the value of moment of inertia

[tex]MR_{r}^2=2[/tex]

[tex]R_{r}^2=\dfrac{2}{M}[/tex]

Put the value of M

[tex]R_{r}^2=\dfrac{2}{1}[/tex]

So, [tex]R_{r}^2=R_{d}^2=2\ m[/tex]

We need to calculate the moment of inertia of disc about own axis

Using formula of moment of inertia

[tex]I_{d}=\dfrac{1}{2}MR_{d}^2[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]I_{d}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1\times2[/tex]

[tex]I_{d}=1\ kg\ m^2[/tex]

Hence, The moment of inertia of disc about own axis is 1 kg-m².
