Questions  

Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii  R1=R and R2=αR made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia I1  and  I2, respectively, about their axes is I1:I2=1:16 then the value of  α is:

a
2
b
22
c
2
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Moment of Inertia ,  I ∝ mR2⇒I ∝ σπR2tR2     [Thickness and material is same]⇒I ∝ R4∴R2R1=I2I11/4=(16)1/4=2⇒α=2
