  3. 1/3 MR^2
  4. 2/3 MR^2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder about its central axis is given by which formula?
  • Step 1: Understand what a hollow cylinder is. It is a cylindrical shape that has an empty space in the middle.
  • Step 2: Identify the key components needed for the formula: M (mass of the cylinder) and R (radius of the cylinder).
  • Step 3: Recall the formula for the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder about its central axis, which is I = MR^2.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this formula means the moment of inertia (I) depends on both the mass and the square of the radius.
