Question
A solid sphere of diameter \(50 cm\) and mass \(25 kg\) rotates about an axis through its centre. Calculate its moment of inertia. If its angular velocity changes from \(2 rad / s\) to \(1 rad / s\) in 5 seconds, calculate the torque applied.

Answer

I \(=0.625 kg \cdot m ^2 ; \tau=1.25 N \cdot m\)
