Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

Mass per unit area of a circular disc of radius aa depends on the distance r from its centre as σ(r)\sigma(r) = A + Br. The moment of inertia of the disc about the axis, perpendicular to the plane and passing through its centre is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Take a ring of radius rr, width drdr: dm=(A+Br) 2πr drdm = (A+Br)\,2\pi r\,dr, dI=r2dmdI = r^2 dm.
  2. I=2π∫0a(Ar3+Br4)dr=2π(Aa44+Ba55)I = 2\pi\int_0^a (Ar^3 + Br^4)dr = 2\pi\left(\frac{Aa^4}{4} + \frac{Ba^5}{5}\right)
  3. I=2πa4(A4+aB5)I = 2\pi a^4\left(\frac{A}{4} + \frac{aB}{5}\right)
  4. So the answer is (a).
