Four objects with equal mass and radius rotating about their centers.
Four objects, each with the same mass \(M\) and the same radius \(R\), are set to rotate about an axis passing through their centers of mass. The objects are a thin hoop, a solid uniform disk, a solid uniform sphere, and a thin hollow sphere. Which of the following correctly ranks the rotational inertia \(I\) of these objects about the axis through their center of mass from greatest to least?
