where OA=a.
(i)
Find the moment of inertia of the disc about an avis through A perpendicular
to the plane of the disc.
The disc is free to rotate in a vertical plane about the axis through A. Given that
the disc is held with O directly above A and then slightly displaced so that it swings
in a vertical plane,
