MOI of a Cylinder About Transverse Axis

JEE Main asked MOI of a Cylinder About Transverse Axis 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2017 and 2020. It belongs to Moment of Inertia, in System of Particles and Rotational Motion (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 3 years, across 2018 and 2019, which Lumi has no shifts for.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2017 and 2020. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

Raw count: 2017: 1 in 1 shift · 2020: 1 in 12 shifts · 2021: 0 in 24 shifts · 2022: 0 in 24 shifts · 2023: 0 in 12 shifts · 2024: 0 in 18 shifts · 2025: 0 in 8 shifts · 2026: 0 in 9 shifts.
