Four holes of radius R are cut from a thin square plate of side 4 R and mass M . The moment of inertia of the remaining portion about the x -axis is
Options
- Aπ 12 M R 2
- B4 3 - π 4 M R 2
- C4 3 - π 6 M R 2
- D8 3 - 10 π 16 M R 2
Correct answer
D. 8 3 - 10 π 16 M R 2
Step-by-step solution
If M mass of the square plate before cutting the holes, then mass of portion of each hole, m = M 16 R 2 × π R 2 = π 16 M ∴ Moment of inertia of remaining portion I = I s q u a r e - 4 I h o l e = M 12 16 R 2 + 16 R 2 - 4 m R 2 2 + m 2 R 2 = M 12 × 32 R 2 - 10 m R 2 = 8 3 M R 2 - 10 π 16 M R 2 = 8 3 - 10 π 16 M R 2
