Problem 99P

CALC A sphere with radius R = 0.200 m has density ρ that decreases with distance r from the center of the sphere according to ρ = 3.00 X 103 kg/m3 – (9.00 X 103 kg/m4)r. (a) Calculate the total mass of the sphere. (b) Calculate the moment of inertia of the sphere for an axis along a diameter.

ANSWER:

Solution 99P

Step 1:

Data given

Radius of sphere

Density

We need to find the mass of the sphere

This is given by

                        

But we know

Thus we get         

                

        Substituting values we get

                

Thus we have mass of sphere as
