Let $M$ and $L$ be the mass and length of a thin uniform rod, respectively. In the first case, the axis of rotation passes through the centre and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. In the second case, the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is:

Five masses,each of $2\, kg$,are placed on a horizontal circular disc,which can be rotated about a vertical axis passing through its centre. All the masses are equidistant from the axis at a distance of $10\, cm$. The moment of inertia of the whole system (in $g\cdot cm^2$) is: (Assume the disc is of negligible mass)
