Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{6} a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\sigma\) be the uniform mass density of disc then

\(x _{ COM }=\frac{\left(\sigma \pi a ^{2}\right) a -\sigma \pi\left(\frac{ a ^{2}}{4}\right) \times \frac{3 a }{2}}{\sigma \pi a ^{2}-\frac{\sigma \pi a ^{2}}{4}}\)

\(=\frac{a-\frac{3 a}{8}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{5 a}{6}\)
