At any angular speed, a certain uniform solid sphere of diameter D has half as much rotational kinetic energy as a certain uniform thin-walled hollow sphere of the same diameter when both are spinning about an axis through their centers. If the mass of the solid sphere is M, the mass of the hollow sphere is A) 3/5 M. B) 5/3 M. C) 5/6 M. D) 6/5 M. E) 2 M.

A hollow sphere and a uniform solid sphere have the same radius and are rotating with the same angular velocity. The hollow sphere has twice as much rotational energy as the solid sphere. If M is the mass of the hollow sphere then the mass of the solid sphere is 5M/6 5M/3 M/2 3M/5 6M/5

A solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ spins about an axis passing through its centre making $600 \mathrm{rpm}$. Its kinetic energy of rotation is (a) $\frac{2}{5} \pi^{2} M R$ (b) $\frac{2}{5} \pi M^{2} R^{2}$ (c) $80 \pi^{2} M R^{2}$ (d) $80 \underline{\pi} R$
