Answer

The rotational inertia of each object is $~~I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the rotational inertia of the solid cylinder: $I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$ We can write an expression for the rotational inertia of the thin hoop: $I = M(\frac{R}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$ The rotational inertia of each object is $~~I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$
