2R- 2R 2R- 105. The three uniform objects shown in the diagram at right have the same mass m. Object A is a solid cylinder with radius R. Object B is a hollow, thin cylinder with radius R. Object C is a solid cube whose sides are of length 2R. The axis of rotation of each object is perpendicular to the page and through the object's center of mass. A B C a) Which object has the smallest moment of inertia? Explain based on your conceptual understanding of moment of inertia (and without referring to the moment of inertia formulas I gave you!). b) Which object has the largest moment of inertia? Explain.
