Updated On: Jul 5, 2022
  • 32MR2\frac{3}{2}MR^2
  • 23MR2\frac{2}{3}MR^2
  • 54MR2\frac{5}{4}MR^2
  • 45MR2\frac {4}{5}MR^2

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter (i.e. zz axis) is I0=MR24I_{0}=\frac{MR^{2}}{4} ∴\therefore According to parallel axis theorem, moment of inertia about the required axis (i.e. z' axis) is
I=I0+MR2I=I_{0}+MR^{2} =MR24+MR2=5MR24=\frac{MR^{2}}{4}+MR^{2}=\frac{5MR^{2}}{4}

Concepts Used:

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
