Solution
The correct option is C880kg-m2 Given,
Radius of each circular ring (r)=1m
Mass of each circular ring (m)=10kg
Moment of inertia of first circular ring about perpendicular axis passing through ′A′ IA1=mr2+mr2=2mr2
(using parallel axis theorem) =2×10(1)2=20kg-m2
Similarly,
Moment of inertia of 2nd circular ring about axis passing through ′A′. IA2=mr2+m(3r)2=10mr2=100kg-m2
Moment of inertia of 3rd circular ring about axis passing through ′A′ IA3=mr2+m(5r)2=26mr2=260kg-m2
Moment of inertia of 4th circular ring about axis passing through ′A′ IA4=mr2+m(7r)2=50mr2=500kg-m2
Therefore, total moment of inertia about axis passing through ′A′ IA=20+100+260+500=880kg-m2
