A circular hole of radius a 2 is cut out of a circular disc of radius a as shown in figure. The centroid of the remaining circular portion with respect to point O will be:
Options
- A2 3 a
- B5 6 a
- C1 6 a
- D10 11 a
Correct answer
B. 5 6 a
Step-by-step solution
Let σ be the uniform mass density of disc then x COM = σ π a 2 a - σ π a 2 4 × 3 a 2 σ π a 2 - σ π a 2 4 = a - 3 a 8 1 - 1 4 = 5 a 6
