$A$ rod of linear mass density $\lambda$ and length $L$ is bent to form a ring of radius $R$. The moment of inertia of the ring about any of its diameters is:

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda L^3}{16 \pi^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda L^3}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda L^3}{4 \pi^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda L^3}{8 \pi^2}$

Four hollow spheres,each with a mass of $1\, kg$ and a radius $R = 10\, cm$,are connected with massless rods to form a square with a side of length $L = 50\, cm$. In case-$1$,the masses rotate about an axis that bisects two sides of the square. In case-$2$,the masses rotate about an axis that passes through the diagonal of the square,as shown in the figure. Compute the ratio of the moments of inertia $I_1/I_2$ for the two cases.

$A$ circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium,so that it acquires maximum moment of inertia about its geometrical axis. This is possible with:

The moment of inertia $(M.I.)$ of four bodies,having the same mass $M$ and radius $R$,are reported as follows:
$I_{1} = M.I.$ of a thin circular ring about its diameter.
$I_{2} = M.I.$ of a circular disc about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through the centre.
$I_{3} = M.I.$ of a solid cylinder about its axis.
$I_{4} = M.I.$ of a solid sphere about its diameter.
