Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

Two loops ' AA ' and ' BB ' of radii ' R1R_1 ' and ' R2R_2 ' are made from uniform wire. If moment of inertia of ' A ' is ' IAI_A ' and that of ' B ' is ' IBI_B ', then R2/R1R_2/R_1 is [IAIB=27]\left[\frac{I_A}{I_B} = 27\right]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Same wire: M∝RM \propto R, so I∝R3I \propto R^3.
  2. (R1R2)3=27⇒R1R2=3\left(\frac{R_1}{R_2}\right)^3 = 27 \Rightarrow \frac{R_1}{R_2} = 3
  3. So the answer is (c) R2R1=1:3\frac{R_2}{R_1} = 1 : 3.
