Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry, and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. Which of the two will aquire a greater angular speed after a given time?

1.	Torques of equal magnitude are applied to a hollow cylinder and a solid sphere, both having the same mass and radius. The cylinder is free to rotate about its standard axis of symmetry, and the sphere is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre. Which of the two will aquire a greater angular speed after a given time?
Answer» Solution :Angular SPEED of SOLID sphere will be GREATER than the angular speed of HOLLOW CYLINDER
