Show that the moment of inertia of a spherical shell of radius R and mass M about an axis through
its centre is 2/3 MR2. Show also that the moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere of radius R and

mass M is 2/5MR2. The spheres are allowed to roll (from rest), without slipping a distance L down
a plane inclined at a angle θ to the horizontal. Find expressions for the speeds of the spheres at the
bottom of the incline and show that ∆v/〈v〉 = 8.7% where ∆v is the difference in the speeds and 〈v〉 is

the mean of the two speeds. Which sphere has the larger speed?

Find the moment of inertia of a circular disk of radius R and mass M that rotates on an axis passing through its center. [Answer: ½ MR2] Step 1: Pictorial representation: Sketch a neat picture to represent the situation. Step 2: Physical representation: 1) Cut the disk into many small rings as it has the circular symmetry. 2) Set up your coordinate system and choose its origin at the pivot point (or the axle location) for convenience. Then choose a...

A sphere of mass M, radius r, and moment of inertial I = Mr2 (where is a dimensionless constant which depends on how the mass is distributed in the sphere) is placed on a track at a height h above the lowest point on the track. The sphere is released, and rolls without slipping. It reaches a horizontal surface which subsequently bends into a vertical loop-the-loop of radius R, as in Fig. 2 below. a) When it reaches the top...
