TopicMoments of inertia
TypeComposite body MI calculation
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a structured multi-part moment of inertia problem requiring application of parallel axis theorem and standard formulas (rod about end, disc about diameter), followed by energy conservation. While it involves multiple components and careful bookkeeping, each step follows standard Further Maths mechanics procedures with clear guidance ('show that' format). The calculations are lengthy but methodical rather than requiring novel insight.

A thin uniform rod \(A B\) has mass \(2 m\) and length \(3 a\). Two identical uniform discs each have mass \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } m\) and radius \(a\). The centre of one of the discs is rigidly attached to the end \(A\) of the rod and the centre of the other disc is rigidly attached to the end \(B\) of the rod. The plane of each disc is perpendicular to the rod \(A B\). A second thin uniform rod \(O C\) has mass \(m\) and length \(2 a\). The end \(C\) of this rod is rigidly attached to the mid-point of \(A B\), with \(O C\) perpendicular to \(A B\) (see diagram). The object consisting of the two discs and two rods is free to rotate about a horizontal axis \(l\), through \(O\), which is perpendicular to both rods.
  1. Show that the moment of inertia of one of the discs about \(l\) is \(\frac { 13 } { 4 } m a ^ { 2 }\).
  2. Show that the moment of inertia of the object about \(l\) is \(\frac { 52 } { 3 } m a ^ { 2 }\). When the object is suspended from \(O\) and is hanging in equilibrium, the point \(C\) is given a speed of \(\sqrt { } ( 2 a g )\) in the direction parallel to \(A B\). In the subsequent motion, the angle through which \(O C\) has turned before the object comes to instantaneous rest is \(\theta\).
  3. Show that \(\cos \theta = \frac { 8 } { 21 }\).
