JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion

A solid sphere of radius \(R\) has moment of inertia \(J\) about its qeometrical axis. If it is melted into a disc of radius \(r\) and thickness \(t\). If its moment of inertia about the tangential axis (which is perpendicular to plane of the disc), is also equal to \(I\), then the value of \(r\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{15}} R\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} R\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{15}} R\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{15}} R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{15}} R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{2}{3} M R^2=\frac{1}{2} M r^2+M r^2\) or \(\frac{2}{3} M R^2=\frac{3}{2} M r^2 \Rightarrow r=\frac{2}{\sqrt{15}} R\)
