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

Answer»

`4 MR^(2)`
`40/9 MR^(2)`
`40 MR^(2)`
`37/9 MR^(2)`

Solution :MASS per unit area of disc
`=(9M)/(piR^(2))`
Mass of REMOVED portion of disc
`=(9M)/(piR^(2)) xx pi(R/3)^(3) = M`
MOMENT of INERTIA of removed portion about an AXIS passing through center of disc and perpendicular to the plane of disc, using theorem of parallel axes is
`I_(1)=M/2(R/3)^(2)+1/2(MR^(2))=4MR^(2)`
