Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of the larger disks rigidly connected to each other with a common axis of rotation. System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks rigidly connected with a common axis of rotation. If the moment of inertia for system A = the moment of inertia for system B, how many of the smaller disks are in system B? 1 4 10 16

    16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Moment of inertia of a disk is proportional to its mass and to the square of its radius. For two disks with the same mass, the larger one will have a moment of inertia that is (4R/R) ^2 = 16 times that of the smaller one.

    It will take 16 smaller disks to make the systems have the same moment of inertia.
