    A solid sphere of mass 'm', radius 'R', having moment of inertia about an axis passing through centre of mass as 'I' is recast into a disc of thickness 't' whose moment of inertia about an axis passing through the rim (edge) and perpendicular to plane remains 'I'. Then the radius of disc is

    A solid metallic sphere of radius 'R' having moment of inertia 'I' about diameter is melted and recast into a solid disc of radius 'r' of a uniform thickness. The moment of inertia of a disc about an axis passing through its edge and perpendicular to its plane is also equal to 'I'. The ratio rR\frac{r}{R} is
