$A$ circular disc $X$ of radius $R$ is made from an iron plate of thickness $t$,and another disc $Y$ of radius $4R$ is made from an iron plate of thickness $\frac{t}{4}$. Then the relation between the moment of inertia $I_x$ and $I_y$ is

What is the radius of gyration of a circular disc of radius $R$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane?

The figure shows the variation of the moment of inertia of a uniform rod about an axis passing through its centre and inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the length of the rod. The moment of inertia of the rod about an axis passing through one of its ends and making an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ with the rod will be ........ $kg-m^2$.
