उत्तर

  1. Consider a rigid object rotating with a constant angular speed ω about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the paper.   

    A body of N particles
  2. For theoretical simplification, let us consider the object to be consisting of N particles of masses m1, m2, …..mN at respective perpendicular distances r1, r2, …..rN from the axis of rotation.
  3. As the object rotates, all these particles perform UCM with the same angular speed ω, but with different linear speeds,
    v1 = r1ω, v2 = r2ω,…., vN = rNω 
  4. Translational K.E. of the first particle is
    (K.E.)1 = `1/2m_1v_1^2 = 1/2m_1r_1^2omega^2`
    Similar will be the case of all the other particles.
  5. The rotational K.E. of the object is the sum of individual translational kinetic energies.
    Thus,
    Rotational K.E. = `1/2m_1r_1^2omega^2 + 1/2m_2r_2^2omega^2..... + 1/2m_Nr_N^2omega^2`
    ∴ Rotational K.E. = `1/2(m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2..... + m_Nr_N^2)omega^2`
  6. But I = `Σ_{i = 1}^N m_ir_i^2 = m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2...... + m_Nr_N^2`
    ∴ Rotational K.E. = `1/2"I"omega^2`
