Question 288: Centre of Mass and Rotational Motion

Question

A circular disc D
1
of mass M and radius R has two identical discs D
2
and D
3
of the same mass M and radius R attached rigidly at its opposite ends (see figure). The moment of inertia of the system about the axis OO' ,passing through the centre of D
1
as shown in the figure, will be :

Accepted Answer

I $$=$$ $${{M{R^2}} \over 2} + 2\left( {{{M{R^2}} \over 4} + M{R^2}} \right)$$
$$ = {{M{R^2}} \over 2} + {{M{R^2}} \over 2} + 2M{R^2}$$
$$=$$ $$3M{R^2}$$

Centre of Mass and Rotational Motion

A circular disc D 1 of mass M and radius R has two identical discs D 2 and D 3 of the same mass M and radius R attached rigidly at its opposite ends (see figure). The moment of inertia of the system about the axis OO' ,passing through the centre of D 1 as shown in the figure, will be :
