Question

A circular disc X of radius R is made from an iron pole 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

Options

A.IY = 32IX
B.IY = 16IX
C.IY = 32IX
D.IY = 64IX

Solution

If t is the thickness and R is the radius of the disc, then mass = πR2
ρ = density of the material of the disc.
Moment of inertia of disc X,
    Ix = πR4tρ       ....(i)
Moment of inertia of disc Y,
    Iy = 32 πR4tρ       ....(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
    Iy = 64 Ix
