The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


\(I_1 = \frac{MR_2}{2} = MK_{12}\)
\(I_2 = \frac{MR_2}{4} = MK_{22}\)
\(K_1 = \frac{R}{\sqrt2}, K_2 = \frac{R}{2}\)
\(\frac{K_1}{K_2} = (\frac{1}{√2})(\frac{2}{1}) = \frac{2}{1}\)

Concepts Used:

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
