Seven identical discs are arranged in a planar pattern, so as to touch each other as shown in the figure. Each disc has mass m radius R . What is the moment of inertia of system of six discs about an axis passing through the centre of central disc and normal to plane of all discs?
Options
- A27 m R^2
- B100 m R^2
- C55 m R^2 2
- D85 m R^2 2
Correct answer
C. 55 m R^2 2
Step-by-step solution
According to question, moment of inertia of 7 discs will be aligned I & =I_ COM +M d₂ & = 7 2 M R^2+6 M(2 R)^2 aligned ( radius of all 6 discs will be 2 R from centre). = 55 2 M R^2
