Question
A solid cylinder with a radius of 4.0 cm has the same mass as a solid sphere of radius R. If the cylinder and sphere have the same moment of inertia about their centers, what is the sphere's radius?
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2
The moment of inertia of the cylinder is equal to:
The moment of inertia of the sphere is equal:
As we know that the moments of the cylinder and the sphere are equal, the mass of the cylinder and the sphere is also equal by equalizing equations and , we find the diameter of the sphere:
