Hi all
i am really confused about this, why does a thin cylindrical shell has the same moment of inertia of a hoop?
i understand the I for a thin hoop is mr(square), and i know how to do this. but i just get confused why a cylindrical shell has the same result? and i don't know how to show the work.
i asked my physics teacher but he didnt explain very clearly.
