Homework Statement
A crucial part of a piece of machinery starts as a flat uniform cylindrical disk of radius R0 and mass M. It then has a circular hole of radius R1 drilled into it. The hole's center is a distance h from the center of the disk.
Find the moment of inertia of this disk (with off-center hole) when rotated about its center, C
Express your answer in terms of the variables M, R0, R1, and h.
How do i convert mass of the cutout in terms of overall mass?
Homework Equations
I = (1/2)mr^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I = (1/2)M(R0)^2 - I cutout
I cutout = (1/2)m(R1)^2 + mh^2
Thanks
