From a disc of mass ' $M$ ' and radius ' $R$ ', a circular hole of diameter ' $R$ ' is cut whose rim passes through the centre. The moment of inertia of the remaining part of the disc about perpendicular axis passing through the centre is
  1. $\frac{13 \mathrm{MR}^2}{32}$
  2. $\frac{11 \mathrm{MR}^2}{32}$
  3. $\frac{9 \mathrm{MR}^2}{32}$
  4. $\frac{7 \mathrm{MR}^2}{32}$

Solution

Moment of inertia of disc is given by $\mathrm{I}_{\text {disc }}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{f}}+\mathrm{I}_{\text {hole }}$ .... $\left\{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{f}}=\right.$ M.I. of remaining part $\}$ $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{I}_{\text {dise }}-\mathrm{I}_{\text {hole }} \\ & \mathrm{I}_{\text {disc }}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2} \end{aligned}$ By parallel axes theorem we get, $\mathrm{I}_{\text {hole }}=\left[\frac{\frac{\mathrm{M}}{4}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)^2}{2}+\frac{\mathrm{M}}{4}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)^2\right]$ $\ldots\left\{\begin{array}{l}\because \mathrm{M}_{\text {bole }}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\text {dive }}}{4} \\ \because \text { the surface density is same }\end{array}\right\}$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{I}_{\text {hole }}=\left[\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{32}+\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{16}\right]$ Substituting eq (iii) and eq (ii) in eq (i) we get, $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}} & =\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2}-\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{32}-\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{16} \\ & =\mathrm{MR}^2\left[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{32}-\frac{1}{16}\right] \\ & =\frac{13}{32} \mathrm{MR}^2 \end{aligned}$
