Current Question (ID: 19397)

Question:
$\text{What is the ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere to that of a solid cylinder, given that both objects have the same mass and radius?}$
Options:
  • 1. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • 2. $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  • 3. $\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$
  • 4. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: For a solid sphere, } I = \frac{2}{5} mR^2; \text{ For a solid cylinder, } I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$ $\text{Step 1: Find the radius of gyration of a solid sphere and a solid cylinder.}$ $\text{The radius of gyration is given by:}$ $\Rightarrow k = \sqrt{\frac{I}{m}}$ $\text{The radius of gyration of the solid sphere is given by:}$ $\Rightarrow k = \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} R \quad \ldots (1)$ $\text{The radius of gyration of the solid cylinder is given by:}$ $\Rightarrow k' = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}} \quad \ldots (2)$ $\text{Step 2: Find the ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere and a solid cylinder.}$ $\text{From equations (1) and (2), we get:}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{k}{k'} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$ $\text{Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.}$
