Question
Two circular discs A and B are of equal masses and thickness but made of metals with densities dA and dB(dA>dB). If their moments of inertia about an axis passing through centres and normal to the circular faces be IA and IB, then
Answer: Option C
:
C
Moment of inertia of circular disc about an axis passing through centre and normal to the circular face
I=12MR2=12M(Mπtρ) [AsM=Vρ=πR2tρ∴R2=Mπtρ]
⇒I=M22πtρ or I∝1ρ If mass and thickness are constant.
So, in the problem IAIB=dBdA ∴IA<IB [AsdA>dB]
