You also arrested me on the suspicion of art theft. I profess innocence, claiming that I forged a copy of the egg, and so I can’t be accused of stealing a copy that I made. How do you determine whether the egg is a copy or a real work of art? You know that the real Fabergé Egg is mostly hollow, while the “fake” egg may not be. You can model the egg as a cylindrical object (because modeling a real egg is complex), and roll it down an inclined plane. Measuring its velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane will allow you calculate the moment of inertia of the egg, which you can compare to the moments of inertia for a solid cylinder (a disk) and for a hollow cylinder (a hoop). You perform the experiment using a ramp 0.5 m high at one end. You measure the mass of the egg at 400 g and its maximum radius at 9 mm. After several trials, you determine the average velocity of the egg at the bottom of the ramp is 2.56 m/s. Am I going down for art theft?
