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?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
