Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- [c] Let same mass and same outer radii of solid sphere and hollow sphere are M and R, respectively.
The moment of inertia of solid sphere A about its diameter
Similarly, the moment of inertia of hollow sphere (spherical shell) B about its diameter
It is clear from Eqs.
(i) and (ii),
Alternatively
We can say that the object which has mass at greater distance will have higher moment of inertia as
So, hollow sphere has large
