What is moment of inertia of a uniform circular ring about its diameters?

Answered by admin @



The moment of inertia of a uniform circular ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to it, is given by,

\boxed{I = {MR}^{2}}

According to the theorem of perpendicular axis,

\boxed{I_{z} = I_{x} + I_{y}}

Now x and y axes are along the diameter of the disc, and by symmetry,

I_{x} = I_{y}

\text{\underline{Therefore,}}

I_{z} = 2I_{x}

I_{z} = {MR}^{2}

\text{\underline{Therefore,}}

\boxed{I_{x} = \frac{ {MR}^{2} }{2}}

\text{\underline{Thus,}}

The moment of inertia of the ring about any of its diameter is  \boxed{\frac{ {MR}^{2} }{2}}
