Ip= Io+(7m).(3R)2

   = \left [ \frac{mR^{2}}{2} +6\left [ \frac{mR^{2}}{2}+m.(2R)^{2}\right ]+(7m)(3R)^{2}\right ]

   =\frac{181}{2}mR^{2}

 

Moment of inertia for disc -

I=\frac{1}{2} MR^{2}

 

- wherein

About an axis perpendicular to the plane of disc & passing through its centre .

 

   and

Paraller Axis Theorem -

I_{b\: b'}=I_{a\: a'}+mR^{2}

- wherein

b\: b' is axis parallel to a\: a' & a\: a' an axis passing through centre of mass.
