Two half rings are joined as shown in the figure. Each half ring has a radius $R$ and mass $M$. The moment of inertia of the system about the axis $XX'$ is

  • A
    $MR^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}MR^2$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}MR^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}MR^2 - \frac{4MR^2}{\pi^2}$

$A$ thin uniform rectangular plate of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about the $x$-axis is $I_{x}=0.2 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$ and the moment of inertia about the $y$-axis is $I_{y}=0.3 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$. The radius of gyration of the plate about the axis passing through $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is (in $ \, cm$)

Three point masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the vertex $m_1$ and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is not what is asked; rather,the axis passes through $m_1$ and bisects the opposite side $m_2m_3$. What is the moment of inertia of the system about this axis?

Assertion $(A)$: The moment of inertia of a steel sphere is larger than the moment of inertia of a wooden sphere of the same radius.
Reason $(R)$: Moment of inertia is independent of the mass of the body.
The correct one is:

Two discs of the same thickness but different radii are made of two different materials such that their masses are equal. The densities of the materials are in the ratio $1:3$. The ratio of the moments of inertia of the discs about the axes passing through their centers and perpendicular to their planes is:
