32
128
256
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
I1 = M(\((\frac{R^2}{4})\)+\((\frac{L_2}{12})\))
I1 = \((\frac{M}{4})\)(R2+\((\frac{L^2}{3})\))
M = ρπR2L
M2 = ρπ\((\frac{R^2}{8})\)L = \(\frac{M}{8}\)
I2 = \((\frac{M}{8})\)x(\((\frac{1}{4})\)[\((\frac{R^2}{4})\)+\((\frac{L_2}{12})\)]
= \((\frac{M}{128})\)[R2+\((\frac{L_2}{3})\)]

A cylindrical tube \(AB\) of length \(l\), closed at both ends, contains an ideal gas of \(1\) mol having molecular weight \(M\). The tube is rotated in a horizontal plane with constant angular velocity \(\omega\) about an axis perpendicular to \(AB\) and passing through the edge at end \(A\), as shown in the figure. If \(P_A\) and \(P_B\) are the pressures at \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then (consider the temperature to be same at all points in the tube)

Concepts Used:
Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia is defined as the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration which is the sum of the product of the mass of every particle with its square of a distance from the axis of rotation.
Moment of inertia mainly depends on the following three factors:
- The density of the material
- Shape and size of the body
- Axis of rotation
Formula:
In general form, the moment of inertia can be expressed as,
I = m × r²
Where,
I = Moment of inertia.
m = sum of the product of the mass.
r = distance from the axis of the rotation.
M¹ L² T° is the dimensional formula of the moment of inertia.
The equation for moment of inertia is given by,
I = I = ∑mi ri²
Methods to calculate Moment of Inertia:
To calculate the moment of inertia, we use two important theorems-
- Perpendicular axis theorem
- Parallel axis theorem
