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:

Pick an option to check your answer.
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 about point P,\({I_P} = {I_0} + m{d^2}\)
\( = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2} + 7M{\left( {3R} \right)^2} = \frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}\)
