Question

A student performs this experiment and measures the bar to have a mass of 150g and length of 36cm. What is the moment of inertia of the bar?

Answer 1

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the bar is $45\times10^{-4}\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of bar = 150 g

Length l = 36 cm

We need to calculate the moment of inertia of the bar

Using formula of moment inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{12}Ml^2$

Where,

M = mass of the bar

L = length of the bar

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1}{12}\times150\times10^-3\times36\times10^{-2}$

$I=45\times10^{-4}\ kg-m^2$

Hence, The moment of inertia of the bar is $45\times10^{-4}\ kg-m^2$
