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 as 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

- A \(MR^2\)
- B \(3MR^2\)
- C \(\frac{4}{5}\,M{R^2}\)
- D \(\frac{2}{3}\,M{R^2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(3MR^2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} + 2\left( {\frac{{M{R^2}}}{4} + M{R^2}} \right)\) \( = \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} + \frac{{M{R^2}}}{2} + 2M{R^2} = 3\,M{R^2}\)

- A thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm and a thin concave lens of focal length 4 cm are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification \( m_{1} \), when an object is placed 10 cm before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of convex lens and object undisturbed a gap of 1 cm is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away, which lead to a change in magnification of total lens system to \( m_{2} \).
