Five masses,each of $2\, kg$,are placed on a horizontal circular disc that can rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. All masses are equidistant from the axis at a distance of $10\, cm$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the whole system in $gm-cm^2$. (Assume the disc has negligible mass.)

  • A
    $10^5$
  • B
    $10^4$
  • C
    $10^6$
  • D
    $10^8$
