PhysicsSystems of Particles and Rotational MotionMHT CET

A uniform disc is rotating in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis at the rate of rad/s. A bob of wax of mass 0.02 kg falls vertically on the disc and adheres to it at a distance of 0.05 m from the axis of rotation. If the new speed of rotation becomes 40 rev/minute, the moment of inertia of the disc is [MHT-CET 2019, MHT-CET 2019]
