How do we find the moment of inertia of a particle with mass m about the center of a circular disc when it is placed somewhere on it's surface.. let's say on the boundary of the disc..??! Share with your friends Share 0 Vijay Shankar Yadav answered this Dear Student, Moment of inertia is defined by mass×square of distance fromaxis about which it rotates.So if radius of disc is a then moment of inertia of the mass m =ma2 this moment of inertia of mass only not of disc.
