29.
The ratio of the moment of inertia of a circular plate and that of a square plate for equal depth, is
less than one
equal to one
more than one
equal to 3π/16
none of these.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

For circular plate, MI = π*d^4/64.

For square plate, MI = d^4/12.

So, Ratio = MI of circular plate/MI of square plate.

= 3*π/16.

The Answer should be 3π/16.

M.O.I of circular=πD^4/64,
M. O. I of rectangular=D^3/12,
But here depth is given equal so M. O. I of rec=D^4/12,
Circular/rectangular =3π/16.

For circular plate Moment of inertia Ic = πD^4/64.

For square plate Moment of inertia is = D^4/12.

Ratio = (πD^4/64)/( D^4/12) => 3π/16.
