A disc of mass .m. and radius R has a concentric hole of radius .r.. Its M.I. about an axis through centre and normal to its plane is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Consider a ring of radius .x. and of thickness dx of the disc
The M.I. of the ring about a normal axis through its centre is `dI=(m)/(pi(R^(2)-r^(2)))2pix.dx.x^(2)`
The total M.I of the disc is obtained by integrating the above expression. `intdI=int_(r)^(R)(m)/(pi(R^(2)-r^(2)))2pix.dx.x^(2)`
on solving `I=(m)/(2)(R^(2)+r^(2))`

A thin uniform circular disc of mass M and radius R is rotating in a horizonatl plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity omega . Another disc of same thickness and radius but of mass (1)/(8) M is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The anuglar velocity of the system is now
