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

Question

Explanation:

The disc can be written as

 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

⇒M= 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
