Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii R₁ = R and R₂ = aR made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia I₁ and I₂, respectively, about their axes is I₁:I₂ = 1:16 then the value of a is:

I = I 1 + I 2 + I 3

I 1 = m l 2 3

I 2 = m l 2 1 2 + 5 m l 2 4 = I 3

I = m l 2 3 + 2 [ m l 2 1 2 + 5 m l 2 4 ]

= m l 2 3 + 2 × 1 1 2 ( 1 6 ) m l 2

= ( 1 3 + 8 3 ) m l 2

= 9 3 m l 2 = 3 m l 2

According to question, we can write

l = 2 π r r = l 2 π

I 1 = m l 2 3 , a n d I 2 = m r 2 2 = m l 2 8 π 2

I 1 I 2 = m l 2 3 × 8 π 2 m l 2 = 8 π 2 3
