Let $M$ and $L$ be the mass and length of a thin uniform rod,respectively. In the $1^{\text{st}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to its length. In the $2^{\text{nd}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to its length. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is:

Three point masses,each of mass $m$,are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis passing along one side of the triangle is:

$A$ ring and a solid sphere rotating about an axis passing through their centers have same radii of gyration. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of the ring. The ratio of the radius of the ring to that of the sphere is $\sqrt{\frac{2}{x}}$. The value of $x$ is $.......$

Moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ rotating about the perpendicular axis passing through its centre is $I$. If the same rod is bent in the form of a ring,its moment of inertia about the diameter is $I_1$. If $I_1 = xI$,then the value of $x$ is:
