Find the moment of inertia of a uniform sphere of mass m and radius R about a tangent if the spheres (1) solid (ii) hollow?

Explanation

To find the moment of inertia of a uniform sphere about a tangent, we will consider both a solid sphere and a hollow sphere. We will use the parallel axis theorem for this calculation.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

**Step 1: Moment of Inertia of Solid Sphere about its Center of Mass**
- The moment of inertia \( I_{cm} \) of a solid sphere about an axis through its center of mass is given by:
\[
I_{cm} = \frac{2}{5} m R^2
