A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder have the same mass M and the same radius R. Which statement is true concerning their moment of inertia about an axis through the exact center of the flat surfaces?

The options are not given, here are the options.

A.The hollow cylinder has the greater moment of inertia.

B. Both cylinders have the same moment of inertia o

C. The moment of inertia cannot be determined since it depends on the amount of material removed from the inside of the hollow cylinder

D. The solid cylinder has the greater moment of inertia.

The correct option is A.

the Hollow cylinder has greater inertia

Explanation:

The moment of intertia for solid cylinder is 1/2mr^2.

The moment of inertia for hollow cylinder is 1/2m(r1 + ri) meaning it has internal resistance. The Hollow cylinder has greater moment of inertia because it has high resistance to random motion

The solid cylinder have smaller moment of inertia because it has lower resistance to random or rotational motion compare to hollow cylinder and this will make it to attain acceleration faster than hollow cylinder through the exact center of the surface.
