A solid metallic sphere of radius ' R ' having moment of inertia ' I ' about diameter is melted and recast into a solid disc of radius ' r ' of a uniform thickness. The moment of inertia of a disc about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to its plane is also equal to ' I '. The ratio r R is
Options
- A1 2
- B2 5
- C2 10
- D2 15
Correct answer
D. 2 15
Step-by-step solution
M.I. of the solid sphere about a diameter I = 2 5 MR ^2...(i) M.I. of the disc about an axis through its edge and perpendicular to its plane is array ll & I= 3 2 Mr ^2 ...(ii) & 2 5 MR ^2= 3 2 Mr ^2 & r = 2 15 R array ...[From(i) and (ii)]
