The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod about a perpendicular axis passing through one of its ends is $I$. Now,the rod is bent into a ring and its moment of inertia about its diameter is $I_{1}$. Then $\frac{I}{I_{1}}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{8 \pi^{2}}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{11 \pi^{2}}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{4 \pi^{2}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi^{2}}{3}$

$A$ straight rod of length $L$ is made of a material having mass per unit length $m(x) = \lambda|x|$, where $x$ is measured from the center of the rod. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end of the rod is to be calculated. Given $L = 1 \ m$ and $\lambda = 16 \ kg/m^2$.

$A$ uniform solid cylinder with radius $R$ and length $L$ has moment of inertia $I_1$ about the axis of the cylinder. $A$ concentric solid cylinder of radius $R/2$ and length $L/2$ is carved out of the original cylinder. If $I_2$ is the moment of inertia of the carved out portion of the cylinder, then $I_1/I_2$ is (Both $I_1$ and $I_2$ are about the axis of the cylinder). (in $: 1$)
