Question
What is the moment of inertia of a hollow sphere (with a thin wall) of mass m and radius R about an axis through its centre?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The formula provided for a hollow sphere with a thin wall, about an axis through its centre, is I = (2/3) m R².
Hint
The moment of inertia for a hollow sphere is larger than for a solid sphere of the same mass and radius.
