Question

Two metal disks, one with radius r = 2. 50 cm and the other with radius r = 5. 00 cm are welded together and

Answer 1

The total moment of inertia of the two disks will be I = 2.375 × 10-³ Kgm² welded together to form one unit.

What is moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is the quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each particle in the body with the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.

Using the formulas to calculate the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder:

I = ½MR²

Where;

I = moment (kgm²)

M = mass of object (Kg)

R = radius of object (m)

Total moment of inertia of the two disks is expressed as: I = I(1) + I(2)

That is;

I = ½M1R1 + ½M2R2

According to the provided information;

R1 = 2.50cm = 0.025m

M1 = 0.800kg

R2 = 5.00cm = 0.05m

M2 = 1.70kg

I = (½ × 0.800 × 0.025²) + (½ × 0.05² × 1.70)

I = (½ × 0.0005) + (½ × 0.00425)

I = (0.00025) + (0.002125)

I = 0.002375

I = 2.375 × 10-³ Kgm²

Hence The total moment of inertia of the two disks will be I = 2.375 × 10-³ Kgm² welded together to form one unit.
