The surface density (mass/area) of a circular disc having a radius aa varies with the distance from the centre according to ρ(r)=A+Br\rho(r) = A + Br. Determine its moment of inertia about a line passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc.

Options

  1. A2π[Aa43+Ba54]2\pi \left[\dfrac{Aa^4}{3} + \dfrac{Ba^5}{4}\right]$$
  2. B2π[Aa44+Ba55]2\pi \left[\dfrac{Aa^4}{4} + \dfrac{Ba^5}{5}\right]$$
  3. C2π[Aa33+Ba44]2\pi \left[\dfrac{Aa^3}{3} + \dfrac{Ba^4}{4}\right]$$
  4. Dπ[Aa44+Ba55]\pi \left[\dfrac{Aa^4}{4} + \dfrac{Ba^5}{5}\right]$$

Correct answer

B. 2π[Aa44+Ba55]2\pi \left[\dfrac{Aa^4}{4} + \dfrac{Ba^5}{5}\right]$$

Step-by-step solution

Consider an elemental ring of radius rr and thickness drdr in the circular disc.

The area of this elemental ring is dA=2πrdrdA = 2\pi r dr.

The mass of the elemental ring is dm=ρ(r)dA=(A+Br)2πrdrdm = \rho(r) dA = (A + Br) 2\pi r dr.

The moment of inertia of this elemental ring about the axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane is dI=r2dmdI = r^2 dm.

Substituting the expression for dmdm:

dI=r2(A+Br)2πrdrdI = r^2 (A + Br) 2\pi r dr

dI=2π(Ar3+Br4)drdI = 2\pi (A r^3 + B r^4) dr

The total moment of inertia of the disc is obtained by integrating dIdI from r=0r = 0 to r=ar = a:

I=∫0a2π(Ar3+Br4)drI = \int_{0}^{a} 2\pi (A r^3 + B r^4) dr

I=2π[Ar44+Br55]0aI = 2\pi \left[ \dfrac{A r^4}{4} + \dfrac{B r^5}{5} \right]_{0}^{a}

I = 2\pi \left[\dfrac{A a^4}{4} + \dfrac{B a^5}{5} \right]
