A circular disc x of radius R is made from an iron plate of thickness t. and another disc Y of radius 4R is made from an iron plate of thickness t/4 then the rotation between the moment of inertia Ix and Iy is : |
Iy = 16 Ix Iy = 64 Ix Iy = 32 Ix Iy = Ix |
Iy = 64 Ix |
Disc x : radius = R ; thickness = t Disc y : radius = 4R ; thickness = (t/4) Moment of Inertia = [(MR2) / 2] ∴ (I1 / I2) = (M1 / M2) (R1 / R2)2 ... (1) also mass = density × volume M = ρ ∙ V M = ρ ∙ πR2t material is same hence density is same. (M1 / M2) = (R1 / R2)2 ∙ (t1 / t2) = [R / (4R)]2 ∙ [t / (t/4)] = (1 / 16) × 4 = (1/4) From (1) : (I1 / I2) = (1/4) × [R / (4R)]2 (I1 / I2) = (1/4) × (1 / 16) = (1 / 64) i.e Iy = 64 Ix |
