Question
One quarter sector is cut from a uniform disc of radius 'R'. This sector has mass 'M'.  It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the center of the original disc. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is
One Quarter Sector Is Cut From A Uniform Disc Of Radius 'R'....
Options:
A .  12MR2 
B .  14MR2 
C .  18MR2 
D .  √2MR2
Answer: Option A
:
A
If we assume complete disc to be present, then it would have a mass 4 times the mass of the sector. Then, moment of inertia of the complete disc is
Idisc=12MdiscR2=12(4Msector)R2
Now, Isector=Idisc4
Isector=12MR2.
