JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

Seven identical circular planar disks, each of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point \(P\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{{55}}{2}M{R^2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{73}}{2}M{R^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}\)
  4. D \(\;\frac{{19}}{2}M{R^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using parallel axes theorem, moment of inertia about \('O'\) \(\begin{array}{l} {I_0} = {I_{cm}} + m{d^2}\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{7M{R^2}}}{2} + 6\left( {M \times {{\left( {2R} \right)}^2}} \right) = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2} \end{array}\) Again, moment of inertia…
