The ratio of radius of gyration of a solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) about its own axis to the radius of gyration of the thin hollow sphere of same mass and radius about its axis is :-

  1. A \(5: 2\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{5}\)
  3. C \(5: 3\)
  4. D \(2: 5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radius of gyration \(:K=\sqrt{\frac{I}{m}}\) \(\frac{ k _{\text {solid sphere }}}{ k _{\text {hollow sphere }}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 mR ^2 / 5 m }{2 mR ^2 / 3 m }}=\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{5}\)
