The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc to that of a circular ring, each of same mass and radius, around their respective axes is
- 2 : 1
- 2 : 3
- 3 : 2
- 1 : 2
Answer
(4) 1 : 2
Solution
About the axis through the centre and perpendicular to the plane:
Disc: I = 12MR2 = Mkd2 kd = R 2
Ring: I = MR2 = Mkr2 kr = R
kdkr = 1 2
kd : kr = 1 : 2
