Answer

$I_z=0.113Kgm^2$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required moment of inertia as follows: The mass of the thin plate is given as $m=\sigma A$ $\implies m=10(0.4)^2$ $\implies m=1.6Kg$ and the mass of the thin disk is given as $m=\sigma (-A)$ $\implies m=10(-\pi (0.1)^2)=-0.314Kg$ Now $I_z=\Sigma (I+md^2_x)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_z=\frac{1.6(0.4)^2}{12}+\frac{1.6[(0.4)^2+(0.4)^2]}{12}+1.6(0.2)^2+\frac{-0.31(0.1)^2}{4}+\frac{-0.314(0.1)^2}{2}+0.314(-\pi(0.2)^2)$ This simplifies to: $I_z=0.113Kgm^2$
