How Can Moment of Inertia Be the Same at the Radius of a Ring and Its Center?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of moment of inertia (MoI) being the same at the radius of a ring and its center. Participants express confusion over the terminology, particularly the phrase "MoI at radius." Clarification is sought regarding the specific concerns about the moment of inertia in relation to the ring's geometry. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise definitions and context to understand the equivalence of MoI in these locations. Understanding the principles of moment of inertia is crucial for resolving this inquiry.

How can moment of inertia is same at radius of ring and at the center of it?
While I am reading this article, it says moment of inertia is same at
radius of ring and at the center of it. How is that possible?

Not sure what you mean by MoI "at radius".
The references on that page all seem to concern MoI about the centre of the ring.
Can you be more specific about what concerns you?
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
