Important Questions on Motion of System of Particles
An massless equilateral triangle EFG of side 'a' (As shown in figure) has three particles of mass situated at its vertices. The moment of inertia of the system about the line EX perpendicular to EG in the plane of EFG is where is an integer. The value of is ___________ .





A solid cube of wood of side and mass is resting on a horizontal surface as shown below.
The cube is free to rotate about the fixed axis . A bullet of mass and speed is shot horizontally at the face opposite to at a height above the surface to impart the cube an angular speed , so that the cube just topples over. Then, is (Note the moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the center of mass is )

A thin uniform rectangular plate of mass is placed in plane as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about -axis is and the moment of inertia about - axis is . The radius of gyration of the plate about the axis passing through and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is







Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass and radius about axes (passing through its plane) and Z-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be and , respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason R: A rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
