Moment of Inertia
Question

A lamina is made by removing a small disc of diameter 2R from a bigger disc of uniform mass density and radius 2R, as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of this lamina about axes passing through O and P is IO and IP, respectively. Both these axes are perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. The ratio IPIO  to the nearest integer is

Solution

 I0=12σπ(2R)2(2R)2[12σπR2πR2+σπR2R2]=σπR4[832]=132σπR4

 IP=32σπ(2R)2(2R)2[12σπR2πR2+  σπR25R2]

 σπR4[24112]=37σπR42                  IPIO~¯3
