$A$ straight rod of length $L$ is made of a material having mass per unit length $m(x) = \lambda|x|$,where $x$ is measured from the center of the rod. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end of the rod is to be calculated. Given $L = 1 \ m$ and $\lambda = 16 \ kg/m^2$.

Let $M$ and $L$ be the mass and length of a thin uniform rod,respectively. In the $1^{\text{st}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to its length. In the $2^{\text{nd}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to its length. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is:
