Answer

$154.8\ kg. m^2$

Work Step by Step

Given: radius of spherical shell $r =1.90\ m$ applied torque $\tau =960\ N.m$ angular acceleration $\alpha = 6.20\ rad/s^2$ Formula for the torque is $\tau =I\alpha$ where $I$ is the moment of inertia Therefore; $I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}$ $I=\frac{960\ N.m }{6.20\ rad/s^2}$ $I =154.8\ kg. m^2$
