A circular disc has radius $R_1$ and thickness $T_1$. Another circular disc made of the same material has radius $R_2$ and thickness $T_2$. If the moment of inertia of both discs are same and $\frac{R_1}{R_2}=2$ then $\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .

Two identical thin rods of mass $M \mathrm{~kg}$ and length $L \mathrm{~m}$ are connected as shown in figure. Moment of inertia of the combined rod system about an axis passing through point $P$ and perpendicular to the plane of the rods is $\frac{x}{12} \mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
