Radius of the original disc = R
Mass of the smaller disc = = (1/4) = M/4
Let O and O’ be the respective centers of the original disc and the cut out disc respectively. As per the definition of the centre of mass, the centre of mass of the original disc is supposed to be concentrated at O, while that of the smaller disc is supposed to be concentrated at O’.
It is given, OO’ = R/2
After the smaller disc has been cut from the original, the remaining portion is considered to be a system of two masses. The two masses are
M – concentrated at O and M/4 concentrated at O’
Let x be the distance thro
