Calculate the moment of inertia of a circular disc of radius `10 cm`, thickness `5 mm` and uniform density `8 g cm^(-3)`, about a transverse axis through the centre of the disc.

Explanation

To calculate the moment of inertia of a circular disc about a transverse axis through its center, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the given parameters:**
- Radius of the disc, \( R = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \)
- Thickness of the disc, \( t = 5 \, \text{mm} = 0.5 \, \text{cm} \)
- Density of the disc, \( \rho = 8 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \)
