An Insect On A Disc

Classical Mechanics Level pending

A uniform, circular disc of mass M M lying on a smooth, horizontal surface is free to rotate about a vertical axis O O passing through its rim. An insect of mass m m is at point A A such that line O A OA is the diameter of the disc. The insect describes a complete circle relative to the disc and returns to the starting point A . A.

If the angle moved by the disc relative to the ground is given by π ( 1 x M y M + z m ) , \pi\left(1-\sqrt{\frac{xM}{yM+zm}}\right), then the value of x + y + z x+y+z is __________ . \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_}.
