Two bodies have their moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular velocity will be in the ratio
- 2 : 1
- 1 : 2
- 2 : 1
- 1 : 2
Answer
(3) 2 : 1
Solution
Rotational kinetic energy K = 12I 2
12I 12 = 12(2I) 22
12 22 = 2
1 : 2 = 2 : 1
Answer: (3)
