  1. The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc about a tangential axis in the plane of the disc and of a circular ring of the same radius about a tangential axis in the plane of the ring is
    1. 1 : √2
    2. 1 : 3
    3. 2 : 1
    4. √5 : √6
Correct Option: D


Circular disc [1]

Iy2 =
MR²
4

∴ I'y1 =
MR²
+ MR² =
5
MR²
44


Circular ring [2]
∴ I'y2 =
MR²
+ MR² =
3
MR²
22

I'y1 = MK1² , I'y2 = MK2²
K1²
=
I'y1
⇒ K1 : K2 = √5 : √6
K2²I'y2
