Two thin discs each of mass M and radius...

Two thin discs each of mass `M` and radius `r` are attached as shown in figure, to from a rigid body. The rotational inertia of this body about an axis perpendicular to the plane of disc `B` and passing through its centre is :
.

A

`2Mr^(2)`

B

`3Mr^(2)`

C

`4Mr^(2)`

D

`5Mr^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Moment of inertia of discs `A` and `B` about the axis through their cenre of mass and perpendicular to the plane will be
`I_("AA")=I_(BB)=1/2Mr^(2)`
Now moment of inertia of disc `S` about an axis through `B` by theorem of parallel axis will be
`I_("AA")=I_(BB) +M(2r)^(2)=1/2Mr^(2)+4Mr^(2)=9/2Mr^(2)`
So, `I=I_(BB)+I_(AB)=1/2 Mr^(2)+9/2Mr^(2)=5Mr^(2)`
