Estimate the angular momentum of the moon (relative to its center) due to its rotation around its axis. The radius of the moon is Rm = 1.74 X 106mits mass is Mm = 1.34 x 1022 kg. Treat the moon as a solid sphere. The formula for the rotational inertia (moment of inertia) of a solid sphere is I = MR2. Note: The moon makes one rotation around its axis for the same time that it takes to go once around the earth – approximately 28 days.
