$A$ disc $X$ of radius $R$ and thickness $t$ is made of an iron plate. Another disc $Y$ of radius $4R$ and thickness $t/4$ is also made of the same iron plate. What is the relationship between their moments of inertia $I_x$ and $I_y$?

  • A
    $I_y = 32I_x$
  • B
    $I_y = 16I_x$
  • C
    $I_y = I_x$
  • D
    $I_y = 64I_x$

Find the moment of inertia of a thin,massless rod about an axis passing through its centre of mass,where a pair of masses is suspended at both ends of this rod.

Five masses,each of $2\, kg$,are placed on a horizontal circular disc that can rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. All masses are equidistant from the axis at a distance of $10\, cm$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the whole system in $gm-cm^2$. (Assume the disc has negligible mass.)
