Consider a cylinder and a hollow cylinder, rotating about an axis going through their centers of mass. If both objects have the same mass and the same radius, which object will have the larger moment of inertia?

a)   The moment of inertia will be the same for both objects.

b)   The solid cylinder will have the larger moment of inertia because its mass is uniformly distributed .

c)   The hollow cylinder will have the larger moment of inertia because its mass is located away from the axis of rotation.
