How to Calculate Moment of Inertia of a Hollow Sphere?

A steps to calculate how to find the Moment of Inertia of a Hollow Sphere

Hollow Sphere Moment of Inertia Calculation

The mass Hollow sphere moment of inertia of radius 'r' and mass 'm' is given by I = 2mr² / 3.
Let us follow the steps for how to calculate moment of inertia of a hollow sphere with radius 'r' and mass 'm' with an example.

Formula:
Moment of Inertia of a Hollow Sphere, I = 2mr² / 3
Where,
m = Mass
r = Radius

Step 1:Assume a hollow cylinder having a mass of 25kg and a radius of 6cm.

Step 2: Applying the values in the formula,
Hollow Sphere Moment of Inertia
I = 2mr² / 3
I = 2 x 25 x 6² / 3
I = 1800 / 3
I = 600
