solution

If we put the disk in the x-y plane, then we saw that tex2html_wrap_inline871 . We want to know the answer when spun around the x axis tex2html_wrap_inline783 . That should be the same as tex2html_wrap_inline861 . So using the parallel axis theorem, eqn. 1.61, we have that tex2html_wrap_inline877 . Therefore tex2html_wrap_inline879 .
