Options:
A) $ ( \frac{15}{32} )MR^{2} $
B) $ ( \frac{1}{8} )MR^{2} $
C) $ ( \frac{3}{8} )MR^{2} $
D) $ ( \frac{13}{32} )MR^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- [d] $I_{Total}$ disc= $\frac{MR^2}{2}$
As mass is proportional to area, $M_{Removed}=\frac{M}{4}$
Now, about the same perpendicular axis:
$ I_{Removed} =\frac{M}{4}\frac{(R/2)^2}{2} + \frac{M}{4}(\frac{{R}}{{2}}^2)=\frac{3MR^2}{32}$
⇒$ {I_Remaining} Disc = I_{Total}−I_{Removed}=\frac{MR^2}{2}− \frac{3MR^2}{32}=\frac{13MR^2}{32}$
