M is the mass of the lamp = 50 g;
R is the radius of the lamp = 3 cm;
We have been given mass in grams so, we need to convert it into kg.
1 g = 10
-3
kg
50g = 50 * 10
-3
kg
50g = 0.05 kg
Also, radius is given in cm so we need to convert it into m.
1 cm = 10
-2
m
3 cm = 3 * 10
-2
m
3 cm = 0.03 m
Putting the values of M and R in equation 1 we get
I = 0.05 * 0.03
2
Or, I = 4.5 * 10
-5
kg m
2
Therefore, A is the correct answer option.
Question 6
Consider the figure given below. B is the nodal plane or ground. A body of mass M is kept on a
horizontal plane A at a certain height above the plane B. Plane C is at same height from the
ground (B) as that of plane A. Which of the following statements is correct?
Potential energy of the body is non-zero with respect to the plane A
Potential energy of the body is non-zero with respect to the plane C
Potential energy of the body is non-zero with respect to the plane B
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. Both 1 and 2
E. Both 2 and 3
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body by virtue of its height from the reference plane.
Potential energy is given as
PE = mgh --------------- (1)
