Q.

Two discs of same mass and different radii are made of different materials such that their thicknesses are 1 cm and 0.5 cm respectively. The densities of the materials are in the ratio 3 : 5. The moment of inertia of these discs respectively about their diameters will be in the ratio of x6. The value of x is ________.         [2023]


Ans.

(5)

m=ρπR2t

So R2=mρπt

       I=mR24=m24ρπt

So I1I2=ρ2t2ρ1t1=53×0.51=56

So x=5
