Two solid spheres ($A$ and $B$) are made of metals having densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$ respectively. If their masses are equal,then the ratio of their moments of inertia $(\frac{I_B}{I_A})$ about their respective diameters is:

  • A
    $(\frac{\rho_B}{\rho_A})^{2/3}$
  • B
    $(\frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B})^{2/3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B}$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho_B}{\rho_A}$

View Solution

The moment of inertia $(M.I.)$ of four bodies,having the same mass $M$ and radius $R$,are reported as follows:
$I_{1} = M.I.$ of a thin circular ring about its diameter.
$I_{2} = M.I.$ of a circular disc about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through the centre.
$I_{3} = M.I.$ of a solid cylinder about its axis.
$I_{4} = M.I.$ of a solid sphere about its diameter.
Then:

Moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its diameter is $I$. It is then casted into $27$ small spheres of same diameter. The moment of inertia of each new sphere is
