The moments of inertia of a non-uniform circular disc (of mass M and radius R ) about four mutually perpendicular tangents AB , BC CD , DA are I₁, I₂, I₃ and I₄ respectively (the square ABCD circumscribes the circle.) The distance of the center of mass of the disc from its geometrical center is given by.
Options
- A1 4 M R (I₃-I₃ )²+ (I₂-I₄ )²
- B1 12 M R (I₃-I₃ )²+ (I₂-I₄ )²
- C1 3 M R (I₁-I₂ )²+ (I₃-I₄ )²
- D1 2 M R (I₁+I₃ )²+ (I₂+I₄ )²
Correct answer
A. 1 4 M R (I₃-I₃ )²+ (I₂-I₄ )²
Step-by-step solution
array l I₁=I_ c m +M(R-y)² I₃=I_ c m +M(R+y)² array So I₃-I₁=M [(R+y)²-(R-y)² same as I₄-I₂=M [(R+x)²-(R-x)² ] Ву Distance of CM from center of disc = x²+y² = 1 4 M R (I₃-I₃ )²+ (I₂-I₄ )²
