Problem

A solid uniform disk of mass MM and radius RR can rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk. Four axes are proposed: I. Through the center of the disk II. Through a point on the rim of the disk III. Through a point halfway between the center and the rim IV. Along the line through the center but located a distance 2R2R from it (the axis does not intersect the disk) Which list orders the axes from least to greatest rotational inertia? a) I<II<III<IVI < II < III < IV b) III<I<II<IVIII < I < II < IV c) I<III<II<IVI < III < II < IV d) II<III<I<IVII < III < I < IV
