Determine the moment of inertia of the assembly about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through point O. The block has a mass of 3 kg. and the semicylinder has a mass of 5 kg.



Answer :

The moment of inertia of the assembly about the axis perpendicular to the page and passing through point O is 0.285 kg/m².

The dimensions of the block are 300mm x 400mm, the radius of the semi cylinder is 200mm.

The mass of the block is 3 kg and the semi cylinder has a mass of 5 kg.

The Moment of inertia of the block around the axis passing through the point O and perpendicular to the plane of the paper is given by,

I = M/12(L²+B²)

I₁ = M/12((0.3)²+(0.4)²)

I₁ = M/12

I₁ = 0.06 kg/m²

Now, the moment inertia of the semi cylinder around the point O is,

I₂ = M/2(R)²

I₂ = 5/2(0.3)²

I₂ = 0.225 kg/m².

The moment of inertia of the whole assembly around the axis perpendicular to the page and passing through point O.

I = I₁ + I₂

I = 0.06+0.225

I = 0.285 kg/m².

The moment of inertia of the assembly is 0.285 kg/m².
