A uniform disc of radius R lies in the x-y plane, with its centre at the origin. Its moment of inertia about the z-axis equals its moment of inertia about the line . Find c.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

For a disc, moment of inertia about any diameter through the centre is MR²/4.

The line y=x+c is parallel to a diameter and its perpendicular distance from the centre is |c|/√2.

By the parallel-axis theorem: MR²/4+M(c²/2)=MR²/2.

Hence c²=R²/2, so c=±R/√2.
