$A$ disc $X$ of radius $R$ and thickness $t$ is made of an iron plate. Another disc $Y$ of radius $4R$ and thickness $t/4$ is also made of the same iron plate. What is the relationship between their moments of inertia $I_x$ and $I_y$?

  • A
    $I_y = 32I_x$
  • B
    $I_y = 16I_x$
  • C
    $I_y = I_x$
  • D
    $I_y = 64I_x$

Two spheres $A$ and $B$,each of mass $5 \ kg$,are attached to the ends of a light rod of length $1 \ m$. Treating the spheres as point masses,find the ratio of the moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through $A$ to that about an axis passing through the center of the rod,both axes being perpendicular to the rod.

Consider a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ centered at the origin. The density of the material of the sphere is $\rho = A r^\alpha$, where $r$ is the radial distance, and $\alpha$ and $A$ are constants. If the moment of inertia of the sphere about the axis passing through the centre is $\frac{6}{7} M R^2$, then the value of $\alpha$ is

$A$ circular disc of radius $b$ has a hole of radius $a$ at its centre (see figure). If the mass per unit area of the disc varies as $\sigma(r) = \frac{\sigma_0}{r}$,then the radius of gyration of the disc about its axis passing through the centre is

The ratio of the radius of gyration of a thin uniform disc about an axis passing through its centre and normal to its plane to the radius of gyration of the disc about its diameter is

Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value as compared to any other parallel axis when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of mass.
Reason $(R)$: The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of mass in a uniform gravitational field.
