  • \( I = \frac{E}{L} \)
  • \( 2E = \frac{I}{L} \)
  • \( L = \sqrt{2EI} \)
  • \( E = L = \frac{L}{I} \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The rotational kinetic energy \( E \) is related to the moment of inertia \( I \) and angular velocity \( \omega \) by the equation: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \] The angular momentum \( L \) is related to the moment of inertia and angular velocity by the equation: \[ L = I \omega \] From these two equations, we can solve for \( \omega \) in terms of \( L \) and \( I \): \[ \omega = \frac{L}{I} \] Substitute this value of \( \omega \) into the equation for \( E \): \[ E = \frac{1}{2} I \left( \frac{L}{I} \right)^2 = \frac{L^2}{2I} \] Now, solving for \( I \): \[ I = \frac{E}{L} \] Thus, the correct relation is \( I = \frac{E}{L} \), which corresponds to option (A).
Final Answer: (A) \( I = \frac{E}{L} \)
