Q144 / 180 · KCET 2023 · Physics

The moment of inertia of a rigid body about an axis

A
does not depend on its mass.
B
does not depend on its shape.
Correct answer
C
depends on the position of axis of rotation.
D
does not depend on its size.

Solution

Moment of inertia of a body depends on the mass of the body, distribution of mass in the body, position of axis of rotation of the body and on the distance from the axis of rotation.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
