The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc about its diameter is 100 gcm2. What is its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to its plane.
A.
500 gcm2
B.
100 gcm2
C.
200 gcm2
D.
700 gcm2
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
By theorem of perpendicular axes, moment of inertia of the disc about an axis perpendicular to its plane, I = Sum of the moments of inertia about two perpendicular diameters I = Id+Id=2×1/4×MR2=2×1000= 200 gcm2.
