Moment of inertia of a disc about a diameter is \(I .\) Find the moment of inertia of disc about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its rim?

  1. A \(6 I\)
  2. B \(4 I\)
  3. C \(2 I\)
  4. D \(8 I\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6 I\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moment of inertia of a disc about a diameter is
\(\frac{1}{4} M R^{2}=I\)
(given)
\(\therefore M R^{2}=4 I\)
Now, required moment of inertia \(=\frac{3}{2} M R^{2}\)
\(=\frac{3}{2}(4 I)=6 I\)
