Data : $M=500 \mathrm{~g} 0.5 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{R}=0.5 \mathrm{~m}$
(i) The moment of inertia of the ring about its
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { diameter }=\frac{M R^2}{2}=\frac{0.5 \times(0.5)^2}{2} \\
& =0.0625 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}{ }^2=6.25 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2
\end{aligned}
$
(ii) The moment of inertia of the ring about a tangent perpendicular to its plane $=2 \mathrm{MR}^2=2 \times 0.5 \times(0.5)^2=0.25 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2$

    A solid sphere of radius $R$, rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its diameter, suddenly stops rotating and $75 \%$ of its $\mathrm{KE}$ is converted into heat. If $\mathrm{c}$ is the specific heat capacity of the material in SI units, show that the temperature of $3 \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{CO}^2$ the sphere rises by $\frac{3 R^2 \omega^2}{20 c}$.
