Answer: MR²
is the the moment of inertia of a hoop of radius R and mass M with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing through its center
Explanation:
Since in the hoop , all mass elements are situated at the same distance from the centre , the following expression for the moment of inertia can be written as follows.
I = ∫ r² dm
= R²∫ dm
MR²
where M is total mass and R is radius of the hoop .
