A 3D perspective diagram of a thick hollow cylinder of length L oriented along a central longitudinal dashed axis z. The cylinder has an inner circular radius labeled R and an outer circular radius labeled 2R. A curved rotational arrow near the top indicates rotation about the z-axis with angular velocity \omega. Cross-hatching on the annular face illustrates the thick cylindrical wall. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
A thick hollow cylinder rotating about its central longitudinal axis.
A thick hollow cylinder of length \(L\), inner radius \(R\), and outer radius \(2R\) rotates about its central axis with a constant angular speed \(\omega\). The cylinder has a non-uniform volume mass density given by \(\rho(r) = \dfrac{c}{r^2}\), where \(r\) is the radial distance from the central axis and \(c\) is a positive constant. Which of the following expressions represents the rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder?
