The moment of inertia of a solid disc rotating along its diameter is 2.5 times higher than the moment of inertia of a ring rotating in similar way. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere which has same radius as the disc and rotating in similar way, is \(n\) times higher than the moment of inertia of the given ring. Here, \(\mathrm{n}=\)_________
Consider all the bodies have equal masses.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\mathrm{I}_1=\frac{\mathrm{MR}_1^2}{4}, \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{\mathrm{MR}_2^2}{2}, \mathrm{I}_3=\frac{2 \mathrm{MR}_1^2}{5}\)

According to problem
\(\frac{\mathrm{I}_1}{\mathrm{I}_2}=2.5 \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\mathrm{MR}_1^2}{4}}{\frac{\mathrm{MR}_2^2}{2}}=\frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{R}_1^2}{\mathrm{R}_2^2}=5 \ldots\)
Now we are provided with information that
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{I}_3}{\mathrm{I}_2}=\mathrm{n} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{2 \mathrm{MR}_1^2}{5}}{\frac{\mathrm{MR}_2^2}{2}}=\mathrm{n} \Rightarrow \frac{4 \mathrm{R}_1^2}{5 \mathrm{R}_2^2}=\mathrm{n}
\end{aligned}\)
From Eq', (1) and (2)
\(\Rightarrow n=4\)
