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

AI Thread 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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
