A solid sphere of mass M, radius R and having moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centre of mass as J, is recast into a disc of thickness t, whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to its plane remains J. Then, radius of the disc will be

Answer»

`(2R)/(sqrt(15))`
`Rsqrt(2/15)`
`(4R)/(sqrt(15))`
`R/4`

Solution :Moment of inertia of solid sphere of mass Mand radius R about an axis passing through the centre of mass is `I=2/5MR^(2)`. Let the radius of disc be r.
Moment of inertia of circular disc of radius r and mass M about an axis passing through the centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane `=1/2Mr^(2)`
`therefore` Using theorem of PARALLEL AXES, moment of inertia of disc about its edge is `I.=1/2Mr^(2)+Mr^(2)=3/2Mr^(2)`
GivenI=I.
or, `2/5MR^(2)=3/2Mr^(2)` or `r^(2)=4/15R^(2)` or, `r=(2r)/(sqrt(15))`
