Solution

The correct option is C 1.48 kg-m2
Given, mass of disc 1, m1= 5 kg
& radius of disc 1, r1= 30 cm
Mass of disc 2, m1= 7 kg
& radius of disc 2, r2 = 60 cm

MOI of disc 1 about an axis OO' ,
I1=m1r212=5×(0.30)22=0.225 kg-m2
MOI of disc 2 about an axis OO'' ,
I2=m2r222=7×(0.60)22=1.26 kg-m2

I=I1+I2=0.225+1.26=1.48 kg -m2
I=1.48 kg-m2
