Two loops $P$ and $Q$ are made from a uniform wire. The radii of $P$ and $Q$ are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively,and their moments of inertia are $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively. If $I_2/I_1 = 4$,then $\frac{r_2}{r_1}$ equals:

  • A
    $4^{2/3}$
  • B
    $4^{1/3}$
  • C
    $4^{-2/3}$
  • D
    $4^{-1/3}$

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.
