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.
