Solid spheres have a rotational inertia about an axis through their center of mass given by I = 2/5 M R2, where M is the mass of the sphere and R is the radius of the sphere.Consider a particular sphere of radius 1.2 m made out of a material of density 300 kg/m3. Using the parallel axis theorem, calculate the rotational inertia of the sphere about a parallel axis shifted 0.33 m away from the center.
