Seven identical circular planar disks, each of mass and radius are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point is




Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics
From a uniform circular disc of radius and mass , a small disc of radius is removed as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through centre of disc is:

An equilateral triangle is cut from a thin solid sheet of wood. (see figure) and are the mid-points of its sides as shown and is the centre of the triangle. The moment of inertia of the triangle about an axis passing through and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is If the smaller triangle is removed from the moment of inertia of the remaining figure about the same axis is Then

An L-shaped object made of thin rods of uniform mass density is suspended with a string as shown in figure. If and the angle made by with downward vertical is , then,

A rod of length is pivoted at one end. It is raised such that if makes an angle of from the horizontal as shown and released from rest. Its angular speed when it passes through the horizontal (in ) will be



A rigid massless rod of length has two masses attached at each end as shown in the figure. The rod is pivoted at point on the horizontal axis (see figure). When released from the initial horizontal position, its instantaneous angular acceleration will be:

A circular disc of mass and radius has two identical discs and of the same mass and radius attached rigidly at its opposite ends (see figure.) The moment of inertia of the system about the axis , passing through the centre of as shown in the figure, will be:
