F = w/2π
w = 2πf
w = 2π × 10
w = 62.8
L = Iw
I = L/w
I = 31.4/62.8
I = 0.5 kgm2
Hence A
The angular momentum of a body is 31.4 Js and its rate of revolution i...
Given:
Angular momentum (L) = 31.4 Js
Rate of revolution (n) = 10 cycles per second
To find: Moment of inertia (I)
Formula used:
L = I x n
where L is angular momentum, I is moment of inertia and n is rate of revolution
Calculation:
Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:
31.4 = I x 10
Solving for I, we get:
I = 31.4 / 10 = 3.14
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation is 3.14 kgm2.
However, none of the given options match this value. Therefore, we need to convert the units of I from kgm2 to another unit.
1 kgm2 = 10-3 kg cm2
Substituting this in the above equation, we get:
I = 3.14 x 103 cm2
Now, converting this value to the desired unit (kgm2), we get:
I = 3.14 x 10-3 kgm2
This value matches with option 'A', hence the correct answer is option 'A'.
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation is 0.5 kgm2.
