SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 74

SSC CPO - 03 Oct 2023 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q74

Which of the following is the correct formula for moment of inertia?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. I = mr2.

The correct formula for the moment of inertia is I = mr², where I represents the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the object, and r is the distance from the axis of rotation. This formula applies specifically to a point mass rotating about an axis. For other shapes and configurations, the moment of inertia formula will vary depending on the mass distribution and axis of rotation.
