Homework Statement
Its actually not a homework , i am just curious about this
I have disc with a hole in middle , R1 is inner radius , R2 is outer radius , Mass M is the disc's mass . Let density of disc uniform .
I did it this way . -
λ.dA=dm
λ.pie.r.dr=dm as Area=pie.r^2
Let substute in the equation I = ∫( R^2).dm
therefore I = ∫( p.pie.r^3 ).dr
remove constants outside the integral therefore I =λ.pie∫r^3.dr
integrate (0 to R )to get I = λ.pie.r^4/4
using Mass = λ*pie*r^2
therefore i get I = (MR^2)/4 for thin Disc
As i have a hole therefore its I = M(R2^2-R1^2)/4
But sadly this is incorrent :/ . It seems that I = M(R2^2-R1^2)/2 is the correct solution
Please Help ! :O why my way is wrong :(
