The moment of inertia of a semicircular ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane is:

The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc about a tangential axis in the plane of the disc and of a circular ring of the same radius about a tangential axis in the plane of the ring is

Four hollow spheres,each with a mass of $1\, kg$ and a radius $R = 10\, cm$,are connected with massless rods to form a square with a side of length $L = 50\, cm$. In case-$1$,the masses rotate about an axis that bisects two sides of the square. In case-$2$,the masses rotate about an axis that passes through the diagonal of the square,as shown in the figure. Compute the ratio of the moments of inertia $I_1/I_2$ for the two cases.

The moment of inertia of a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is $I.$ If $M$ is kept constant and a graph is plotted between $I$ and $R,$ then its form would be:
