$Assertion$ : Radius of gyration of a body is a constant quantity.
$Reason$ : The radius of gyration of a body about an axis of rotation may be defined as the root mean square distance of the particles from the axis of rotation.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.
  • D

Four identical point masses (each of mass $m$) are placed on the circumference of a disc. The disc has mass $M$ and radius $R$. What will be the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the disc?

The densities of two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of the same radii $R$ vary with radial distance $r$ as $\rho_A(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)$ and $\rho_B(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^5$,respectively,where $k$ is a constant. The moments of inertia of the individual spheres about axes passing through their centres are $I_A$ and $I_B$,respectively. If $\frac{I_B}{I_A} = \frac{n}{10}$,the value of $n$ is

Four identical uniform solid spheres,each of same mass '$M$' and radius '$R$',are placed touching each other as shown in the figure with centers $A, B, C, D$. If $I_{A}, I_{B}, I_{C}, I_{D}$ are the moments of inertia of these spheres respectively about an axis passing through their centers and perpendicular to the plane,then:
