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
