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 :-
- 5:3
- 2:5
- 5: 3
- 3: 5
Answer
(4) 3: 5
Solution
I = Mk2
Solid sphere: 25MR2 = Mk12 k1 = 25 R
Thin hollow sphere: 23MR2 = Mk22 k2 = 23 R
k1k2 = 2/52/3 = 35
k1 : k2 = 3: 5
Answer: (4)
