Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii \(R _{1}= R\) and \(R _{2}=\alpha R\) made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia \(I_{1}\) and \(I_{2}\), respectively, about their axes is \(I _{1}: I _{2}=1: 16\) then the value of \(\alpha\) is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{1}=\frac{M R^{2}}{2}=\frac{\rho\left(\pi R^{2}\right) t \cdot R^{2}}{2}\)

\(I \propto R^{4}\)

\(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{R_{1}^{4}}{R_{2}^{4}}=\frac{1}{16}\)

\(\therefore \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
