Given,
AB=BC=AC=l
Moment of inertia of a triangular lamina ABC
I0=kml2
DE=EF=DF=21,
AB=2l
∴ Moment of inertia of ΔDEF
IDEF=k4m(2l)2
IDEF=16kml2.
IDEF=16I0
Moment of inertia of the remaining part
Iremain=I0−16I0
=1615I0
JEE Main 2017 — Physics Mechanics
Moment of inertia of an equilateral triangular lamina ABC, about the axis passing through its centre O and perpendicular to its plane is I0 as shown in the figure. A cavity DEF is cut out from the lamina, where D,E,F are the mid points of the sides. Moment of inertia of the remaining part of lamina about the same axis is:

If $\epsilon, E$ and $t$ represent the free space permittivity, electric field and time respectively, then the unit of $\frac{\epsilon E}{t}$ will be :
When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
The velocity of a particle is given as $\vec{v} = -x\hat{i} + 2y\hat{j} - z\hat{k}$ m/s. The magnitude of acceleration at point $(1, 2, 4)$ is _______ m/s$^2$.
Suppose there is a uniform circular disc of mass $M \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $r \mathrm{~m}$ shown in figure. The shaded regions are cut out from the disc. The moment of inertia of the remainder about the axis $A$ of the disc is given by $\frac{x}{256} M r^{2}$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A soap bubble of surface tension $0.04 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is blown to a diameter of 7 cm. If $(15000-x) \mu \mathrm{J}$ of work is done in blowing it further to make its diameter 14 cm, then the value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$. ($\pi=22 / 7$)
