Problem

A thin-walled hoop (ring) of mass MM and radius RR rotates about its central axis at an angular speed of 4 rad s−14\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}. A solid sphere of the same mass and radius rotates about an identical axis at 6 rad s−16\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}. Which object has the greater rotational kinetic energy? a) The sphere b) Both have the same rotational kinetic energy c) The hoop d) Not enough information is provided
