    The document summarizes concepts related to moment of inertia and centroid, including: 1) It provides examples of past GATE, IES, and IAS exam questions related to moment of inertia, radius of gyration, and centroid. The questions cover topics like the second moment of area for different shapes, area moment of inertia, linear and angular acceleration for a rolling cylinder. 2) It also includes the answers to the example questions and brief explanations for some of the answers. 3) At the end, it provides a sample conventional question from a 2004 IES exam about when I-sections are preferred in engineering applications and a summary response about I-sections having a large section modulus which reduces stresses.

    Radius of Gyration
    Data for Q3–Q4 are given below. Solve the problems and choose correct
    answers.
    A reel of mass “m” and radius of gyration “k” is rolling down smoothly from rest with one
    end of the thread wound on it held in the ceiling as depicted in the figure. Consider the
    thickness of the thread and its mass negligible in comparison with the radius “r” of the
    hub and the reel mass “m”. Symbol “g” represents the acceleration due to gravity.

    Centroid
    IES-1. Assertion (A): Inertia force always acts through the centroid of the body and is
    directed opposite to the acceleration of the centroid. [IES-2001]
    Reason (R): It has always a tendency to retard the motion.
    (a) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
    (b) Both A and R are individually true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
    (c) A is true but R is false
    (d) A is false but R is true
    IES-1. Ans. (c) It has always a tendency to oppose the motion not retard. If we want to retard a
    motion then it will wand to accelerate.

    Radius of Gyration
    IAS-1. A wheel of centroidal radius of gyration 'k' is rolling on a horizontal surface
    with constant velocity. It comes across an obstruction of height 'h' Because of
    its rolling speed, it just overcomes the obstruction. To determine v, one should
    use the principle (s) of conservation of [IAS 1994]

    (c) Energy and linear momentum (d) Energy and angular momentum

    Previous Conventional Questions with Answers


    Conventional Question IES-2004
    Question: When are I-sections preferred in engineering applications? Elaborate your
    answer.
    Answer: I-section has large section modulus. It will reduce the stresses induced in the material.
    Since I-section has the considerable area are far away from the natural so its section
    modulus increased.
