A ring of mass M and radius R lies in x -y plane with its center at origin as shown. The mass distribution of ring is non-uniform such that at any point P on the ring, the mass per unit length is given by λ=λ0cos2θ where λ0 is a positive constant). Then the moment of inertia of the ring about z axis is

Detailed Solution
Divide the ring into infinitely small lengths of mass dm1 . Even though mass distribution is non-uniform, each mass dm1 is at same distance R from origin. ∴ MI of ring about z-axis is =dm1R2+dm2R2+…………..+dmnR2=MR2
