  • A 379MR2
  • B 4MR2
  • C 409MR2
  • D 10MR2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given that for a uniform circular disc the radius is R and mass 9M

∴ The area of uniform circular disc = πR2

The radius of removed portion = R3

∴ The area of removed portion = πR29

So the mass of the removed portion = 9M9 = M

If the moment of inertia of removed disc about the center of the circular disc of radius R is I1 then

I1 = 12M(R3)2+M(2R3)2 = MR22

Moment of inertia of the whole disc, I2 = 9MR22

Moment of inertia of the remaining disc, I = I2 - I1

∴ I = 9MR22−MR22 = 4MR2
