Radius of gyration of a thin uniform circular disc about the axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $K_{c}$. Radius of gyration of the same disc about a diameter of the disc is $K_d$. The ratio $K_c: K_d$ is

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$
  • B
    $1: \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D

$A$ thin uniform wire of mass $m$ and linear mass density $\rho$ is bent in the form of a circular loop. The moment of inertia of the loop about its diameter is

The moments of inertia of a non-uniform circular disc (of mass $M$ and radius $R$) about four mutually perpendicular tangents $AB, BC, CD, DA$ are $I_1, I_2, I_3$ and $I_4$,respectively (the square $ABCD$ circumscribes the circle). The distance of the centre of mass of the disc from its geometrical centre is given by

Three particles,each of mass $m \; g$,are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ of side $l \; cm$ (as shown in the figure). The moment of inertia of the system about a line $AX$ perpendicular to $AB$ and in the plane of $ABC$ in $g \cdot cm^2$ units will be:
