Given information

When the circular hole is cut from the circular plate, the total moment of the plate is equal to the moment of the white portion and the orange portion.

is the radius of the total circle.

distance between centres of both the circles=  

Thus, the mass of the plate 

 

And the mass of the removed portion of the plate 

 

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Let  be the thickness of the plate and the density be .

Then, the mass of the plate 

  

And the mass of the removed portion of the plate 

The goal of this problem is to find the location of the centre of mass of a uniform circular plate under the specified parameters.

Centre of mass of the remaining plate after removing the smaller plate can be obtained as

   

where
