Two bodies have their moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momentum will be in the ratio : |
1 : 2 \(\sqrt{2}\) : 1 1 : \(\sqrt{2}\) 2 : 1 |
1 : \(\sqrt{2}\) |
\(\frac{L_1^2}{2I_1} = \frac{L_2^2}{2I_2}\) ⇒ \(\frac{L_1^2}{2(I)} = \frac{L_2^2}{2(2I)}\) Ratio : \(\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) |
