Question
A uniform square plate S(side c) and a uniform rectangular plate R(sides b, a) have identical areas and masses:

Show that:
  1. $\frac{\text{I}_\text{xR}}{\text{I}_\text{xS}}<1$
  2. $\frac{\text{I}_\text{ys}}{\text{I}_\text{ys}}>1$
  3. $\frac{\text{I}_{2\text{R}}}{\text{I}_{2\text{s}}}>1$

Answer

According to the problem,

Area of square = Area of rectangular plate

⇒ c2 = a × b

⇒ c2 = ab

  1. $\frac{\text{I}_\text{XR}}{\text{I}_\text{XS}}=\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{c}^2}$

It is clear from diagram that b < c.

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{I}_\text{XR}}{\text{I}_\text{XS}}=\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}\Big)^2<1$

$\Rightarrow{\text{I}_\text{XR}}<{\text{I}_\text{XS}}$

  1. $\frac{\text{I}_\text{YR}}{\text{I}_\text{RS}}=\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{c}^2}$ (It is clear that a > c)

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{I}_\text{YR}}{\text{I}_\text{RS}}=\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big)^2>1$

  1. $\text{I}_\text{zR}=\frac{1}{12}\text{M}(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{I}_\text{zS}=\frac{1}{12}\text{M}(\text{c}^2+\text{c}^2)$

Now, $\text{I}_\text{zR}-\text{I}_\text{zS}=\frac{1}{12}\text{M}\big[\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2\text{c}^2\big]$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{I}_\text{zR}-\text{I}_\text{zS}=\frac{1}{12}\text{M}\big(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2\text{ab}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{I}_\text{zR}-\text{I}_\text{zS}=\frac{1}{12}\text{M}\big(\text{a}-\text{b}\big)^2>0$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{I}_\text{zR}}{\text{I}_\text{zS}}>1$
