Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc of radius R and mass M about an axis passing from the edge of the disc and normal to the disc is:

A

(5/2)MR²

B

MR²

C

(7/2)MR²

D

2MR²

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the parallel axis theorem, I = I_cm + MR² = (1/2)MR² + MR² = (3/2)MR² + MR² = (7/2)MR².
