Detailed Solution

C1 is the center of mass of cut portion and C2 that of remaining portion. We have to find x2.

x1=14-10.5=3.5 cm

Mass will be proportional to area. So mass of the whole disc is M=kπ(14)2

Question Image

Mass of cut portion m1=kπ(10.5)2

Mass of the remaining portion 

m2=M-m1=kπ142-10.52=kπ(24.5)×(3.5)

Now, m1x1=m2x2

  x2=m1x1m2=kπ(10.5)2×3.5kπ(24.5)×3.5=4.5 cm
