Q.

M and R be the mass and radius of a disc. A small disc of radius R/3 is removed from the bigger dise as shown in figure. The moment of inertia of remaining part of bigger disc about an axis AB passing through the centre O and perpendicular to the plane of disc is 4xMR2. The value of x is __________.          [2025]

Without cavity I1=MR22

Mass of removed disc = MπR2×(R3)2π=(M9)

M.I. of removed disc I2=M9(R3)22+M9×(2R3)2=MR218

I(remaining part)=I1I2=MR22MR218=4MR29  x=9
