Four spheres,each of mass $M$ and diameter $2a$,are placed at the corners of a square of side $b$ as shown in the figure. Calculate the moment of inertia about the axis $AA'$.

  • A
    $4M \left[ \frac{2}{5}a^2 + \frac{b^2}{2} \right]$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5}Ma^2 + Mb^2$
  • C
    $7M \left[ \frac{2}{5}a^2 - \frac{b^2}{2} \right]$
  • D

Suppose there is a uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $r$ shown in the figure. Two shaded circular regions, each of radius $r/4$, are cut out from the disc. The centers of these cut-out discs are at a distance of $3r/4$ from the center of the original disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining part about the axis $A$ (passing through the center of the disc and perpendicular to its plane) is given by $\frac{x}{256} Mr^2$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
