Test: Moment of Inertia - Question 17

From a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass 9 M, a small disc of radius R/3 is removed, as shown in the figure. Calculate the moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through the centre of the disc.

Detailed Solution for Test: Moment of Inertia - Question 17

The moment of inertia of the removed part about the axis passing through the centre of mass and perpendicular to the plane of the disc = Icm + md2
= [m × (R/3)2]/2 + m × [4R2/9] = mR2/2
Therefore, the moment of inertia of the remaining portion = moment of inertia of the complete disc – moment of inertia of the removed portion
