Question:
Two disc have same mass and thickness .Their materials S1And S2 .The ratio of their moment of inertia about central axis will be?
Answer:

Given, mass of both disc is same.

m1= m2 =m

and, thickness of the discs also same,

So, t1=t2=t

But the materials of discs are different,that means the densities of both materials are different.

Let the density of first disc material is =Ρ1

and  density of second disc material is =Ρ2

So, Ρ1= mass1 /volume

and Ρ2 = mass2 /volume2      (m1=m2= m)

so,  Ρ1V1 = Ρ2V2

= (π.(r1) 2).t×Ρ1 = (π.(r2)2).t×Ρ2

r1 and r2 are radius of discs.

Ρ1 /Ρ2 =(r22  / (r12

Moment of intertia of circular disc is-

I = (1/2)mr2

So, I1 /I2 = 1/2 m(r1)2 / 1/2m(r2)2

= I1 /I2   =(r12  / (r22   = Ρ2 /Ρ1

So, the moment of inertia will depend on the radius of discs and density of the materials.
