Questions  

A number of holes are drilled along a diameter of a disc of radius R. To get minimum time period of oscillations, the disc should be suspended from a horizontal axis passing through a hole whose distance from the centre should be 

a
R2
b
R2
c
R22
d
zero

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Distance of hinge point from center of disc is let say l.T=2πLg     where L=l2+k2l Here k2=R22∴ L=l2+R22l=l+R22lFor minimum time period, L should be minimum. Hence dLdl=0⇒ ddll+R22l=0⇒ 1+R22−1l2=1−R22l2=0⇒l=R2
