1.)
Let thinner and thicker parts have masses m1 and m2 respectively and volumes v1 and v2 respectively.
v1 = (L/2)*pi*(2a)^2 = 2*pi*L*a^2
v2 = (L/2)*pi*a^2 = (1/4)v1
or,
v1:v2 = 1:4
therefore,
m1 = M*1/(1+4) = M/5
and,
m2 = 4M/5
i.)
Ix = (1/2)*(M/5)*a^2 + (1/2)*(4M/5)*(2a)^2
=> Ix = 17*M*a^2/10 --Answer
ii.)
Iy = I1c + m1*x1c^2 + I2c + m2*x2c^2 + Ix/2
where, I1c and I2c are the moment of inertias of thinner and thicker part about their centroid assuming them thin rods. x1c and x2c are the distances of centroid of each part from the y axis. Ix/2 is added because of perpendicular theorem which says
for 2-dimensional objects like thin disk:
Ix = Iy + Iz = 2*Iy (in case of symmetric circular ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
