The moment of inertia of a cylinder of mass $M$,length $L$,and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder is $I = M \left(\frac{R^2}{4} + \frac{L^2}{12}\right)$. If such a cylinder is to be made for a given mass of material,the ratio $L/R$ for it to have the minimum possible $I$ is

Two circular loops $P$ and $Q$ of radii $r$ and $nr$ are made respectively from a uniform wire. The moment of inertia of loop $Q$ about its axis is $4$ times that of loop $P$ about its axis. The value of $n$ is:

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

Let $M$ be the mass and $L$ be the length of a thin uniform rod. In the first case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. In the second case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is
