Determine the moment of inertia of the earth

Reference no: EM13514913

The Earth can be approximated as a sphere of uniform density, rotating on its axis once a day. The mass of the Earth is 5.97×1024 kg, the radius of the Earth is 6.38×106 m, and the period of rotation for the Earth is 24.0 hrs. What is the moment of inertia of the Earth? Use the uniform-sphere approximation described in the introduction.
