Chapter 9 Problem 91P

Question

A thin, flat, uniform disk has mass ?M? and radius ?R?. A circular hole of radius ?R?/4, centered at a point ?R?/2 from the disk’s center, is then punched in the disk. (a) Find the moment of inertia of the disk with the hole about an axis through the original center of the disk, perpendicular to the plane of the disk. (?Hint?: Find the moment of inertia of the piece punched from the disk.) (b) Find the moment of inertia of the disk with the hole about an axis through the center of the hole, perpendicular to the plane of the disk.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 9 problem number 113 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A thin, flat, uniform disk has mass ?M? and radius ?R?. A circular hole of radius ?R?/4, centered at a point ?R?/2 from the disk’s center, is then punched in the disk. (a) Find the moment of inertia of the disk with the hole about an axis through the original center of the disk, perpendicular to the plane of the disk. (?Hint?: Find the moment of inertia of the piece punched from the disk.) (b) Find the moment of inertia of the disk with the hole about an axis through the center of the hole, perpendicular to the plane of the disk.
From the textbook chapter Equilibrium and Elasticity you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
