Rotational Inertia of a Disk with a Hole
A small hole of radius r is drilled in a uniform circular disk of mass M and radius R at a distance d from the center, where r << R and r << d. Compared to the original disk, the rotational inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane and through the center is approximately:
A
Decreased by (r/R)²MR²
B
Decreased by Md²(r/R)⁴
C
Decreased by (r/R)²Md²
D
Decreased by (r/R)²MR²/2
