    A uniform circular disc of radius R lies in the X-Y plane with its centre coincident with the origin. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through a point of the X-axis at a distances = 2R and perpendicular to the X-Y plane, is equal to its moment of inertia about an axis passing through a point on the F-axis at a distance Y = d and parallel to the X-axis in the X-Y plane. The value of d is:

    A) \[\frac{4R}{3}\]                                                

    B) \[\sqrt{17}\left( \frac{R}{2} \right)\]

    C) \[\sqrt{15}\left( \frac{R}{2} \right)\]                                       

    D) \[\sqrt{13}\left( \frac{R}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Applying perpendicular axis theorem moment of inertia of disc about the diameter is \[2{{I}_{D}}=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}\] \[{{I}_{D}}=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{4}\] From the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia at the distance = 2R from \[=\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{2}+M{{(2R)}^{2}}=\frac{9}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]                 ?(i) Now, moment of inertia about an axis parallel to \[x-\]axis is given by \[\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{4}+M{{d}^{2}}\]                                       ?(ii) where y = d From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[\frac{M{{R}^{2}}}{4}+M{{d}^{2}}=\frac{9}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\] \[{{d}^{2}}=\frac{9{{R}^{2}}}{2}-\frac{{{R}^{2}}}{4}=\frac{17}{4}{{R}^{2}}\] \[d=\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}R\]
