Auniform disk of mass 20.0 kg and radius 20.0 cm has an additional rim of mass 20.0 kg as well as four symmetrically placed masses, each of mass 1/4th of the mass of the disk, fastened at positions having position vectors (10.0 i + 10.0 j) cm, (10.0 i - 10.0 j) cm, (-10.0i - 10.0 j cm, (-10.0 i + 10.0 j) cm (with respect to the center of the disk). what is the moment of inertia of the whole unit about an axis perpendicular to the disk and passing through its center?

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of disc is given as

now we have

m = 20 kg

R = 20.0 cm = 0.20 m

now we have

Now the additional mass of 20 kg is placed on its rim so it will behave as a ring so moment of inertia of that part of the disc is

m = 20 kg

R = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Now four point masses each of the mass of one fourth of mass of disc is placed at four positions so moment of inertia of these four masses is given as

here we have

Now total moment of inertia of the system is given as

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
