                    The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass M about an axis touching the disc at its diameter and normal to the disc is:                                                                                                         

    A)                  \[M{{R}^{2}}\]       

    B)                  \[\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\]            

    C)                  \[\frac{3}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]

    D)                  \[\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                              The moment of inertia about an axis passing through centre of mass of disc and perpendicular to its plane is                 \[{{I}_{Cm}}=\frac{1}{2}\,M{{R}^{2}}\]                 where M is the mass of the disc and R its radius.                  According to theorem of parallel axis, ML of circular disc about an axis touching the disc at its diameter and normal to the disc is                 \[I={{I}_{CM}}+M{{R}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}+M{{R}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{3}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]
