Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

Moment of inertia (M. I.) of four bodies, having same mass and radius, are reported as; I1 = M.I. of thin circular ring about its diameter,

I2 = M.I. of circular disc about an axis perpendicular to disc and going through the centre, I3 = M.I. of solid cylinder about its axis and

I4 = M.I. of solid sphere about its diameter.

Then:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. I1I_1 (ring, diameter) =12MR2= \frac{1}{2}MR^2; I2I_2 (disc, perpendicular axis) =12MR2= \frac{1}{2}MR^2.
  2. I3I_3 (solid cylinder, own axis) =12MR2= \frac{1}{2}MR^2; I4I_4 (solid sphere, diameter) =25MR2= \frac{2}{5}MR^2.
  3. So the answer is (a) I1=I2=I3>I4I_1 = I_2 = I_3 > I_4.
