Message:
Density is proportional to 1/r, from R1 to R2: the center of the sphere is
hollow. Using thin sphere Inertia formula I=2/3MR^2: My dilema exist in
when to integrate the proportional density// one way I end up with:
I=1/3M(R2^2 + R1^2) the other way I end up with: I=2/3M(R2^2 + R1^2)
any help would be appreciated.
