    The moment of inertia of a solid sphere of mass M and radius R about the tangent on its surface is

    A)  \[\frac{7}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{4}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\]           

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Moment of inertia of the solid sphere of mass M and radius R about is tangent \[I={{I}_{0}}+M{{R}^{2}}\]     (According to theorem of parallel axis) \[=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}+M{{R}^{2}}\]       \[\left( \because {{I}_{0}}=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}} \right)\] \[I=\frac{7}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\]
