The kinetic energy $\mathrm{K}$ of a rotating body depends on its moment of Inertia I and its angular speed $\omega$. Assuming the relation to be $\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{kl}^{\mathrm{a}} \omega^{\mathrm{b}}$, where $\mathrm{k}$ is a dimensionless constant, find a and $\mathrm{b}$. Moment of inertia of a sphere about its diameter is $\frac{2}{5} M r^{2}$
$\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{kl}^{\mathrm{a}} \omega^{\mathrm{b}}$, where $\mathrm{k}=$ constant and $\mathrm{K}=$ Kinetic energy
So, $\mathrm{K}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]$
$\mathrm{J}^{\mathrm{a}}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2}\right]^{\mathrm{a}}$ and $\omega^{\mathrm{b}}=\left[\mathrm{T}^{-1}\right]^{\mathrm{b}}$
So, $\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]=\left[\mathrm{M}^{\left.\mathrm{a} \mathrm{L}^{2 \mathrm{a}} \mathrm{T}^{-\mathrm{b}}\right]}\right.$
So, $a=1$ and $b=2$
