A thin circular plate of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has its density varying as $\rho(r)=\rho_0 r$ with $\rho_0$ as constant and $r$ is the distance from its center. The moment of inertia of the circular plate about an axis perpendicular to the plate and passing through its edge is $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{a} \mathrm{MR}^2$. The value of the coefficient a is
