Explanation / Answer

theta= 39.1 degrees

= ( 13.8 + 8.20 ) = 22 cm = 0.22 m

= d/ 0.22 = sin( 39.1)

= d = 0.22 * ( 0.952)

= d= 0.139 m

= momentof inertia = moment of inertia disk A about axis + moment of inertia of disk B

= 1/ 4 Ma* ra^2 + 1/4 Mb*rb^2 + Mb * d^2

put values....

= 0.25* 0.926 * (0.138)^2+ 0.25* 0.475 * (0.082)^3 +0.475 * (0.139)^2

=0.0136 kg.m^2
