The moment of inertia of a rigid body depends on which of these?
AOnly the angular speed used
BMass distribution about the axis
COnly the total mass of body
DOnly the applied torque value
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mass distribution about the axis
I depends on shape, size and how mass is spread about the axis, as well as the axis position and orientation, not on spin rate or torque.
