Calculate the moment of inertia of the thin spherical shell having a mass of 3 kg and diameter of 6 cm.
Calculate the moment of inertia of the thin spherical shell having a mass of 3 kg and diameter of 6 cm. Correct Answer .0178 kgm2
The moment of inertia of the thin spherical shell can be calculated using the formula I=mr2×.66. The mass of the thin spherical shell and diameter is given. I=(3)×.66×(.03)2=.0178 kgm2. It depends upon the orientation of the rotational axis.
