JEE MAIN - Physics (2004 - No. 47)

One solid sphere $$A$$ and another hollow sphere $$B$$ are of same mass and same outer radii. Their moment of inertia about their diameters are respectively $${I_A}$$ and $${I_B}$$ such that
$${I_A} < {I_B}$$
$${I_A} > {I_B}$$
$${I_A} = {I_B}$$
$${{{I_A}} \over {{I_B}}} = {{{d_A}} \over {{d_B}}}$$ where $${d_A}$$ and $${d_B}$$ are their densities.

Explanation

For solid sphere the moment of inertia of $$A$$ about its diameter

$${I_A} = {2 \over 5}M{R^2}.$$

The moment of inertia of a hollow sphere $$B$$ about its diameter

$${I_B} = {2 \over 3}M{R^2}.$$

$$\therefore$$ $${I_A} < {I_B}$$
