The moment of inertia $(M.I.)$ of four bodies,having the same mass $M$ and radius $R$,are reported as follows:
$I_{1} = M.I.$ of a thin circular ring about its diameter.
$I_{2} = M.I.$ of a circular disc about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through the centre.
$I_{3} = M.I.$ of a solid cylinder about its axis.
$I_{4} = M.I.$ of a solid sphere about its diameter.
