To find the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a sphere of mass \( m \) about an axis that touches it tangentially using the parallel axes theorem, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Moment of Inertia about the Center of Mass The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about an axis through its center of mass is given by the formula: \[ I_{cm} = \frac{2}{5} m r^2 \] where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. ...
