Three thin rods,each of mass $2M$ and length $L$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z$ axes,which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of the system about the $x$-axis is:

If the radius of a solid sphere is doubled while keeping its mass constant,what is the ratio of its moment of inertia about any of its diameters?

The ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about its own axis to the radius of gyration of a thin hollow sphere of the same mass and radius about its axis is:

If $I_1$ is the moment of inertia of a thin rod of mass $M$ and length $l$ about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its centre of mass,and $I_2$ is the moment of inertia of the ring formed by bending the rod about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane,then:

Two point masses of $0.3 \ kg$ and $0.7 \ kg$ are fixed at the ends of a rod of length $1.4 \ m$ and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum is located at a distance of
