Lets take an elemental disc with x radius from the center of the half disc and width d x
Then see, If the Mass is M , Then Mass of Elemental disc is = d M = π ( R 2 2 − R 1 2 ) 2 M x d x
So now see ,
We can find out the moment of inertia of the elemental disc like
d I = d M . x 2
So d I = π ( R 2 2 − R 1 2 ) 2 M x 3 d x
So Integrating All Such Elemental Disc's Moment of Inertia will give us our required answer
So
∫ R 1 R 2 d I = ∫ R 1 R 2 π ( R 2 2 − R 1 2 ) 2 M x 3 d x
So Now Integrating we'll get
∫ R 1 R 2 d I = I = ∫ R 1 R 2 π ( R 2 2 − R 1 2 ) 2 M x 3 d x = π R 2 2 − R 1 2 2 M ∫ R 1 R 2 x 3 . d x
π R 2 2 − R 1 2 2 M ∫ R 1 R 2 x 3 . d x = 2 M ( R 2 2 + R 1 2 )
