Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

A uniform circular disc of radius ' RR ' and mass ' MM ' is rotating about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre. A small circular part of radius R/2R/2 is removed from the original disc as shown in the figure. Find the moment of inertia of the remaining part of the original disc about the axis as given above.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Removed disc: radius R2\frac{R}{2}, mass M4\frac{M}{4}, centre at R2\frac{R}{2} from the axis.
  2. Ihole=12M4R24+M4R24=3MR232I_{hole} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{M}{4}\frac{R^2}{4} + \frac{M}{4}\frac{R^2}{4} = \frac{3MR^2}{32}
  3. I=MR22−3MR232=1332MR2I = \frac{MR^2}{2} - \frac{3MR^2}{32} = \frac{13}{32}MR^2
  4. So the answer is (b).
