Answer:
2I/7
Explanation:
Formula for moment of inertia through the centre of mass of a solid sphere is given as; I_sc = (2/5) mR²
Now, from parallel axis theorem, moment of inertia of solid sphere from tangent is given as;
I = (2/5) m R² + m R²
I = (7/5) mR²
Thus,mR² = 5I/7
Putting 5I/7 for mR² in first equation, we have;
I_sc = (2/5) × 5I/7
I_sc = 2I/7
