7.10 (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 2/5, where M is the mass of the sphere and R is 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 2/4, find its moment of inertia about an axis normal to the disc and passing through a point on its edge.

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

The moment of Inertia of a sphere about its diameter = 2MR 2/5
According to the theorem of parallel axis, the moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass and the product of its mass an
