a uniform disc of radius r is to be suspended through a small hole made in the disc.find the minimum possible time period of the disc for small oscillations. what should be the distance of the hole from the centre for it to have minimum time period.

hey abhijit1 .........
the question tests the concept of " physical pendulum" :
now the time period of a physical pendulum is equal to
T = 2 ( I / mgl)
the theory for this can be read through HCV itself ......
now in the question given , a uniform disc is taken and a physical pendulum is made out using it.......
suppose that the point from where it is suspended is at a distance of a from the centre .......
remember that since it is given that a very small hole is being cut out so we can assume that even after cutting , the centre of mass of the disc remains the same i.e at the centre itself..............
so now for the time period expression we need to have I (moment of inertia about the suspended point)and l ( the distance of the suspended point from the centre of mass)...
I = mr 2 / 2 + ma2  ( using the parellel axis theorem)
and l = a
now we need to calculate the minimum value of the time period , so we put
dI/da  ( derivative of I wrt a ) = 0
putting the above values and differentiating we can get
a = r / 2 .............
and putting this value of a , we can get the min time period = T ' = 2 (r2)/g
................keep it cooollll...............
