$A$ thin wire of length $L$ has a uniform linear mass density $\rho$. It is bent into a circular loop with center $O$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the circular loop about the axis $XX'$ as shown in the figure.

  • A
    $\frac{{\rho {L^3}}}{{8{\pi ^2}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\rho {L^3}}}{{16{\pi ^2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{5\rho {L^3}}}{{16{\pi ^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{3\rho {L^3}}}{{8{\pi ^2}}}$

$A$ lamina is made by removing a small disc of diameter $2R$ from a bigger disc of uniform mass density and radius $2R$,as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of this lamina about axes passing through $O$ and $P$ is $I_0$ and $I_P$,respectively. Both these axes are perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. The ratio $\frac{I_P}{I_0}$ to the nearest integer is:
