Rotational Kinetic Energy, Work & Power

Two bodies have their moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momenta will be in the ratio

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. K=L22I⇒L=2IKK = \frac{L^2}{2I} \Rightarrow L = \sqrt{2IK}
  2. Equal KK: L∝IL \propto \sqrt{I}
  3. L1L2=I2I=12\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{2I}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
  4. So the answer is (d) 1:21 : \sqrt{2}.
