How much rotational kinetic energy does the disk have ?

[IntegrateMe]

A string is wrapped around a disk of mass 2.1 kg (it's density doesn't have to be uniform). From rest, you pull the string with a constant force of 9 N. At this instant, the center of mass has moved 0.11 m, and your hand has moved 0.28 m.

1. At this instant, how much rotational kinetic energy does the disk have relative to its center of mass?

2. At this instant, the angular speed of the disk is 7.5 rads/s. What is the moment of inertia of the disk?

Exactly what is meant by rotational kinetic energy "relative to the center of mass"?
