Radius of gyration of a disc of mass 5 kg about a transverse axis passing through its centre is 14.14cm. Find its radius of gyration about its diameter and hence calculate its moment of inertia about its diameter

Answer»

Solution :Radius of gyration of a DISC about a TRANSVERSE axis PASSING through its centre
`K=sqrt((I)/(M))=sqrt((MR^(2))/(2M))=(R)/(sqrt2)=14.14cm`
`(,.I=(MR^(2))/(2))`
Radius of the dise, `R=14.14xxsqrt2=20cm`
Radius of gyration of the disc about its diameter.
`K=sqrt((I)/(M))=sqrt((MR^(2))/(4M))=(R)/(2)=(20)/(2)=10cm`
Moment of inertia about its diameter =
`(MR^(2))/(4)=(5(0.2)^(2))/(4)=5.00xx10^(-2)kgm^(2)`
