A uniform solid cylinder of length \(L\) and radius \(R\) has moment of inertia about its axis equal to \(I_1\). A small co-centric cylinder of length \(L / 2\) and radius \(R / 3\) carved from this cylinder has moment of inertia about its axis equals to \(I_2\). The ratio \(I_1 / I_2\) is _________ .

  1. A 162
  2. B 81
  3. C 54
  4. D 27
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 162

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Original mass (M) The removed mass (m) \(m=\rho \times \pi\left(\frac{ R }{3}\right)^2 \times \frac{ L }{2}\) \(=\frac{\rho \cdot \pi R ^2 L}{18}=\frac{ M }{18}\) \(I ^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{ M }{18} \cdot \frac{ R ^2}{9}=\frac{1}{324} MR ^2\)…
