Problem

A 10 g10\,\text{g} bead is attached to a light string and whirls in a horizontal circle of radius 5.0 cm5.0\,\text{cm} about a vertical axis through the circle’s center. What is the bead’s rotational inertia about that axis? a) 5.0×10−4 kg⋅m25.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2} b) 2.5×10−3 kg⋅m22.5\times10^{-3}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2} c) 1.25×10−5 kg⋅m21.25\times10^{-5}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2} d) 2.5×10−5 kg⋅m22.5\times10^{-5}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}
