(a) Find the moment of inertia of a sphere about a tangent to the sphere, given the moment of inertia of the sphere about any of its diameters to be 2MR /5, where M is the mass of the sphere and Ris the radius of the sphere. (b) Given the moment of inertia of a disc of mass M and radius R about any of its diameters to be MR/4, find its moment of inertia about an axis normal to the disc and passing through a point on its edge.
