AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Moment of Inertia MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium so that it acquired maximum moment of inertia about geometrical axis. It is possible with :-

A

Aluminium at interior and iron surround to it

B

Iron at interior and aluminium surround to it

C

Using iron and aluminium layers in alternate order

D

Sheet of iron is used at both external surface and aluminium sheet as internal layers

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

To maximize the moment of inertia, the denser material (iron) should be placed further from the axis of rotation. Therefore, aluminium should be at the interior and iron should surround it.
