Two discs having moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ are made from the same material and have the same mass. Their thicknesses and radii are $t_1, t_2$ and $R_1, R_2$ respectively. The relation between the moment of inertia of each disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane and its thickness is:

The densities of two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of the same radii $R$ vary with radial distance $r$ as $\rho_A(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)$ and $\rho_B(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^5$,respectively,where $k$ is a constant. The moments of inertia of the individual spheres about axes passing through their centres are $I_A$ and $I_B$,respectively. If $\frac{I_B}{I_A} = \frac{n}{10}$,the value of $n$ is

We have two spheres,one of which is hollow and the other solid. They have identical masses and moments of inertia about their respective diameters. The ratio of their radii is given by:
