Calculate the moment of inertia of the thin spherical shell having a mass of 7.8 kg and diameter of 145.6 cm.
Calculate the moment of inertia of the thin spherical shell having a mass of 7.8 kg and diameter of 145.6 cm. Correct Answer 2.72 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=(7.8)×.66×(.728)2=2.72 kgm2. It depends upon the orientation of the rotational axis.
