Question: Two spheres are each rotating at an angular speed of 2 2 . 0 r a d s about axes that pass through their centers.

Two spheres are each rotating at an angular speed of 22.0rads about axes that pass through their centers. Each has a radius of 0.520 m and a mass of 1.57 kg . However, as the figure shows, one is solid and the other is a thin-walled spherical shell. Suddenly, a net external torque due to friction (magnitude =0.340N*m) begins to act on each sphere and slows the motion down. How long does it take (a) the solid sphere and (b) the thin-walled sphere to come to a halt?
