10.11 ** (a) Use the result of Problem 10.4 to find the moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere (mass M, radius R) for rotation about a diameter. (b) Do the same for a uniform hollow sphere whose inner and outer radii are a and b. [One slick way to do this is to think of the hollow sphere as a solid sphere of radius b from which you have removed a sphere of the same density but radius a.]
