$A$ circular disc of radius $b$ has a hole of radius $a$ at its centre (see figure). If the mass per unit area of the disc varies as $\sigma(r) = \frac{\sigma_0}{r}$,then the radius of gyration of the disc about its axis passing through the centre is

  • A
    $\frac{a + b}{3}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{a^2 + b^2 + ab}{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{a + b}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{a^2 + b^2 + ab}{2}}$

Two uniform circular discs having the same mass and the same thickness but different radii are made from different materials. The disc with the smaller rotational inertia is

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:
