    Two discs have same mass and same thickness. Their materials are of densities  \[{{\rho }_{1}} and {{\rho }_{2}}\]          . The ratio of their moments of inertia about central axis will be

    A) \[{{\rho }_{1}}{{\rho }_{2}}:1\]                                  

    B)  \[1:{{\rho }_{1}}{{\rho }_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{\rho }_{1}}:{{\rho }_{2}}\]                                   

    D)  \[{{\rho }_{2}}:{{\rho }_{1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From the formula,                 \[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{r}^{2}}\]                 and        \[{{I}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}mr_{2}^{2}\]          Then,    \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mr_{1}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}mr_{2}^{2}}=\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}\] If t is thickness of each plate, then                 \[\pi r_{1}^{2}t{{\rho }_{1}}=\pi r_{2}^{2}{{\rho }_{2}}\] or            \[\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{2}}}{{{\rho }_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}=\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{2}}}{{{\rho }_{1}}}\]
