Best answer

(A) constant.

(B) independent on the mass.

(C) dependent on the location of the center of

rotation.

(D) dependent on the angular velocity.

Answer 1

$I =\int_{m}r^2dm$

$\text{The moment of inertia of a rigid body relative to the axis depends}$

$\text{on the mass and on the position of the body in relation to this axis.}$

$\text{Hence } (C)$

$\text{Answer:}(C)$
