A circular disc of radius R is removed from a bigger circular disc of radius 2R such that the circumference of the discs coincide. The centre of mass of the new disc is alpha R from the centre of the bigger disc. The value of alpha is
ReportQuestion
Explanation:
The disc can be written as
The mass of the dics can be calculated M=π〖(2R)〗^2 σ where σ is the mass per unit area.
The mass of removed disc M1=π(R)2 σ
⇒M1 = 1/4 M
The mass of the remaining disc
M2=M-M1
=M-1/4 M
=3/4 M
And now we can write
M1×OC1=M2×OC2
⇒M/4 R=3M/R x
⇒x=R/3=σR
⇒σ=1/3
