In this problem we seek to compute the rotational inertia of a disk of mass M and radius R about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its surface. Consider a mass element dm in the shape of a ring of radius r and width dr (see Fig). (a) What is the mass dill of this element, expressed as a fraction of the total mass M of the disk? (b) What is the rotational inertia dI of this element? (c) Integrate the result of part (b) to find the rotational inertia of the entire disk.
