Shown in the figure is a hollow ice cream cone (it is open at the top). If its mass is $M$,radius of its top is $R$,and height is $H$,then its moment of inertia about its axis is

One quarter sector is cut from a uniform circular disc of radius $R$. This sector has mass $M$. It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre of the original disc. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is

$5$ particles,each of mass $2 \ kg$,are attached to the rim of a circular disc of radius $0.1 \ m$ and negligible mass. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to its plane is ........... $kg \cdot m^{2}$.
