JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion

The densities of two solid spheres A and B of the same radii R vary with radial distance r as ρAr=krR and ρBr=krR5 , respectively, where k is a constant. The moments of inertia of the individual spheres about axes passing through their centres are IA and IB , respectively. If IBIA=n10 , the value of n is

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


Consider a shell of radius r and thickness dr
dI=23dmr2
dI=23krR4πr2drr2
dI=8π3kRr5dr
IA=8πk3RR66
IA=8πk18R5 ...(i)
Similarly
IB=8kπ3R50Rr9dr
IB=8πk30R5 ...(ii)
IBIA=610 so n=6
