In: Physics
Given the uniform solid sphere has a mass of M and radius R
rotating with an angular speed
and spinning about an axis through its centre. Its rotationak
kinetic energy is given by,

The moment of inertia I of a solid sphere about an axis passing through its centre is,

Therefore,

For the hollow solid sphere of mass M' and radius R'= 2R
rotating with an angular speed
and spinning about an axis through its centre. Its rotationak
kinetic energy is given by,

The moment of inertia I' of a solid sphere about an axis passing through its centre is,

Therefore,

Given,




So the mass of the hollow sphere is 1/20 times the mass of the solid sphere.
