The radius of gyration of a solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ about its diameter is $K_d$ and that about a tangent of a solid sphere is $K_t$. The ratio of $K_d$ to $K_t$ is

If a solid sphere and a solid cylinder of the same radius and density rotate about their own axes,which one will have a greater moment of inertia? (Assume $L = R$)

$A$ solid sphere and a thin-walled hollow sphere have the same mass and the same material. Which of them has a greater moment of inertia about its diameter? ($I_{h} =$ moment of inertia of a hollow sphere about an axis coinciding with its diameter,$I_{s} =$ moment of inertia of a solid sphere about an axis coinciding with its diameter)

Let $l$ be the moment of inertia of a uniform square plate about an axis $AB$ that passes through its centre and is parallel to two of its sides. $CD$ is a line in the plane of the plate that passes through the centre of the plate and makes an angle $\theta$ with $AB$. The moment of inertia of the plate about the axis $CD$ is then equal to:
