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 :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{6} a\)
  2. B \(\frac{10}{11} a\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{6} a\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3} a\)
Verified Solution

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 \(x _{ COM }=\frac{\left(\sigma \pi a ^{2}\right) a -\sigma \pi\left(\frac{ a ^{2}}{4}\right) \times \frac{3 a }{2}}{\sigma \pi a ^{2}-\frac{\sigma \pi a ^{2}}{4}}\) \(=\frac{a-\frac{3 a}{8}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{5 a}{6}\)
