The equilateral triangle $ABC$ is cut from a thin solid sheet of wood. $D, E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of its sides as shown and $G$ is the centre of the triangle. The moment of inertia of the triangle about an axis passing through $G$ and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is $I_0$. If the smaller triangle $DEF$ is removed from $ABC$,the moment of inertia of the remaining figure about the same axis is $I$. Then

As shown in the figure,when a spherical cavity (centred at $O$) of radius $1$ is cut out of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ (centred at $C$),the centre of mass of the remaining (shaded) part of the sphere is at $G$,i.e.,on the surface of the cavity. $R$ can be determined by the equation:
