JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is divided into two unequal parts. The first part has a mass of \(\frac {7M}{8}\) and is converted into a uniform disc of radius \(2R.\) The second part is converted into a uniform solid sphere. Let \(I_1\) be the moment of inertia of the disc about its axis and \(I_2\) be the moment of inertia of the new sphere about its axis. The ratio of \(I_1/I_2\) is given by

  1. A \(285\)
  2. B \(185\)
  3. C \(65\)
  4. D \(140\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(140\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({I_1} = \frac{{\left( {\frac{{7M}}{8}} \right){{\left( {ZR} \right)}^2}}}{2} = \frac{{7M \times 4{R^2}}}{{2 \times 8}} = \frac{{7M{R^2}}}{4}\)…
