CBSEENPH11026215

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass M about an axis passing from the edge of the disc and normal to the disc is

  • MR2

  • 12 MR2

  • 32 MR2

  • 72 MR2

Solution

C.

32 MR2

The moment of inertia of circular disc about an axis through its centre and normal to its plane

             ICG = 12 MR2

Where M is the mass of the disc and R its radius.

According to the theorem of parallel axis, the moment of inertia of the uniform circular disc about an axis passing from the edge of the disc and normal to the disc,

         I = ICG + MR2 

          = 12 MR2 + MR2

         I = 32 MR2
