Q: The moment of inertia of a body is a measurement of.
  • A. its resistance against linear deformation
  • B. its resistance against translation
  • C. its resistance against shear
  • D. its resistance against rotation
Correct Answer: Option D - Moment of inertia–It is a measure of the resistance offered by a body to angular acceleration about a given axis. • It is the measurement of resistance against rotation. I = mr² I = Moment of inertia m = Mass of object r = Radius of gyration
D. Moment of inertia–It is a measure of the resistance offered by a body to angular acceleration about a given axis. • It is the measurement of resistance against rotation. I = mr² I = Moment of inertia m = Mass of object r = Radius of gyration
