2010 F = ma Exam — Question 24

Confidential 24. A uniform circular disk of radius R begins with a mass M; about an axis through the center of the disk and perpendicular to the plane of the disk the moment of inertia is I0 = 1 2MR2. A hole is cut in the disk as shown in the diagram. In terms of the radius R and the mass M of the original disk, what is the moment of inertia of the resulting object about the axis shown? axis of rotation R R R/2
