What is moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its diameter ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its diameter, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Moment of Inertia The moment of inertia (I) is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation about an axis. For a solid sphere, we want to find this value about its diameter. ### Step 2: Consider the Sphere as Composed of Hollow Spheres We can visualize the solid sphere as being made up of many thin hollow spherical shells. Each shell has a small thickness (dx) and a radius (x). ...
