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
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.
