The ratio of the radius of gyration of a thin uniform disc about an axis passing through its centre and normal to its plane to the radius of gyration of the disc about its diameter is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  \(\sqrt{2}: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k =\sqrt{\frac{ I }{ m }}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ k _{1}}{ k _{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{ I _{1}}{ I _{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{ mR ^{2} / 2}{ mR ^{2} / 4}}=\sqrt{2}: 1\)
