Two uniform circular discs having the same mass and the same thickness but different radii are made from different materials. The disc with the smaller rotational inertia is

  1. A the one made from the more dense material
  2. B the one made from the less dense material
  3. C the disc with the larger angular velocity
  4. D the disc with the larger torque
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) the one made from the more dense material

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moment of inertia of circular disc \(=\frac{1}{2} M R^2\) \(\begin{aligned} =\frac{1}{2} M\left(\frac{M}{\pi t \rho}\right) & =\frac{1}{2} \frac{M^2}{\pi t \rho} \\ (\text { As } M & \left.=\pi R^2 t \rho \Rightarrow R^2=\frac{M}{\pi t \rho}\right) \end{aligned}\) If mass and…
