Body of radius is$R$ ,

Mass is$M$

Speed of the body isrole="math" localid="1663218026097" $v$ .

Using the formula for mechanical energy conservation, find the body鈥檚 rotational inertia about the rotational axis through its center of mass. According to conservation of energy, energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed.

Formulae are as follow:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{com}^2$

$K=\frac{1}{2}I{蝇}^2$

$U=Mgh$

where,$蝇$is angular frequency, g is an acceleration due to gravity, h is height, Iis moment of inertia, m, M are masses,$v_{com}^{}$is velocity of centre of mass, U is potential energy and K is kinetic energy.

Now,

$K_i=U_f$

$\frac{1}{2}m{v}_{com}^2+\frac{1}{2}I{蝇}^2=Mgh$

$\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2+\frac{1}{2}I{\left(\frac{v}{R}\right)}^2=mg\left(\frac{3V^2}{4g}\right)$

$I=\frac{1}{2}m{R}^2$

Hence,the body鈥檚 rotational inertia about the rotational axis through its center of mass is $I=\frac{1}{2}m{R}^2$.

From rotational inertia, it can be seen that the body could be a solid cylinder.

Hence,the body could be a solid cylinder.

Therefore, using the conservation of energy, the rotational inertia of the given object can be found. It can be checked that which object has the same formula for the rotational inertia and it can be decided the type of object.
