A circular hole of radius \(\left(\frac{ a }{2}\right)\) is cut out of a circular disc of radius \('a'\) as shown in figure. The centroid of the remaining circular portion with respect to point \('O'\) will be :

Pick an option to check your answer.
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
\(x _{ COM }=\frac{\left(\sigma \pi a ^{2}\right) a -\sigma \pi\left(\frac{ a ^{2}}{4}\right) \times \frac{3 a }{2}}{\sigma \pi a ^{2}-\frac{\sigma \pi a ^{2}}{4}}\)
\(=\frac{a-\frac{3 a}{8}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{5 a}{6}\)

- Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by \(\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\ell} \frac{\text { dyne }}{\mathrm{cm}^2}\) where \(\mathrm{M}\) is the mass and \(\ell\) is the extension of wre used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules \((\mathrm{Y})\) is estimated by taking data from \(M-\ell\) plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are \(5 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(0.02\) \(\mathrm{cm}\) along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of \(M\) and \(\ell\) are \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\) respectively then percentage error of \(\mathrm{Y}\) is _______.JEE Mains 2024 Hard
