Moment of Inertia & Radius of Gyration

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass M about an axis passing from the edge of the disc and normal to the disc is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Icm=12MR2I_{cm} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2 about the central normal axis.
  2. Shift to the edge (d=Rd = R): I=12MR2+MR2I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2 + MR^2.
  3. So the answer is (c) 32MR2\frac{3}{2}MR^2.
