Rotational Motion Question 6

Question: A circular disc X of radius R is made from an iron plate of thickness t and another disc Y of radius 4R is made from an iron plate of thickness t/4. Then, the relation between the moment of inertia IX and IY is

[AIEEE 2003]

Options:

A) lY=32lX

B) lY=16lX

C) lY=lX

D)lY=64lX

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d]

Mass of disc (X), mx=πR2tρ (m=vρ=Atρ=πR2ρ)

where, ρ= density of material of disc

lx=12mxR2=12πR2tρR2 lx=12πρtR4

(i) Mass of disc (Y) mY=π(4R)2t4ρ=4πR2tρ

and lY=12mY(4R)2=124R2tρ.16R2

lY=32πtρR4 …(ii)

lYlX=32πtρR412πρtR4=64

lY=64lX
