Moment of inertia about an axis AB for a rod of mass 40 kg and length 3 m is same as that of a solid sphere of mass of 10 kg and radius $R$ about an axis parallel to AB axis with separation of 3 m as shown in figure below. The value of $R$ is given as $\sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ________.

A fly wheel having mass 3 kg and radius 5 m is free to rotate about a horizontal axis. A string having negligible mass is wound around the wheel and the loose end of the string is connected to 3 kg mass. The mass is kept at rest initially and released. Kinetic energy of the wheel when the mass descends by 3 m is ________ J. ($g = 10~\mathrm{m/s^2}$)
A solid sphere of radius 10 cm is rotating about an axis which is at a distance 15 cm from its centre. The radius of gyration about this axis is $\sqrt{n} \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of $n$ is
A uniform solid cylinder of length $L$ and radius $R$ has moment of inertia about its axis equal to $I_1$. A small co-centric cylinder of length $L / 2$ and radius $R / 3$ carved from this cylinder has moment of inertia about its axis equals to $I_2$. The ratio $I_1 / I_2$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
