$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $R/8$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recast into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of the sphere about an axis passing through its diameter is:

  • A
    $I$
  • B
    $\frac{2I}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{I}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{I}{10}$

Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii $R_{1} = R$ and $R_{2} = \alpha R$ made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$,respectively,about their axes is $I_{1} : I_{2} = 1 : 16$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

Four point masses,each of mass $m$,are fixed at the corners of a square of side $\ell$. The square is rotating with angular frequency $\omega$,about an axis passing through one of the corners of the square and parallel to its diagonal,as shown in the figure. The angular momentum of the square about this axis is $.......m\ell^2 \omega$.

$A$ solid sphere and a thin-walled hollow sphere have the same mass and the same material. Which of them has a greater moment of inertia about its diameter? ($I_{h} =$ moment of inertia of a hollow sphere about an axis coinciding with its diameter,$I_{s} =$ moment of inertia of a solid sphere about an axis coinciding with its diameter)
