Question

The point is at the edge of the disk and the component bodies are:

a. A uniform disk of radius and mass .
b. A uniform rod of length and mass .
c. A uniform rectangle with side lengths and , and mass .
d. A point mass at with mass .

What is the moment of inertia about the axis through the point?

Answer 1

a. A uniform disk of radius and mass .

Step-by-step explanation:

The moment of inertia I of an object depends on a chosen axis and the mass of the object. Given the axis through the point, the inertia will be drawn from the uniform disc having a radius and the mass.
