The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its diameter is 20 ~kg ~m ^2 . The moment of inertia of a thin spherical shell having the same mass and radius about its diameter is
Options
- A16.6 ~kg ~m ^2
- B30.3 ~kg ~m ^2
- C33.3 ~kg ~m ^2
- D66.6 ~kg ~m ^2
Correct answer
C. 33.3 ~kg ~m ^2
Step-by-step solution
For solid sphere, I= 2 5 m r^2=20 mr ^2=20 5 2 =50 For thin spherical shell, I = 2 3 mr ^2= 2 3 50=33.3 ~kg ~m ^2
