Explanation
By doing so the distribution of mass can be made away from the axis of rotation
About EG, the maximum distance from the axis is the least i.e., distribution of mass is minimum.
Moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder of mass M and radius r about its own axis is Mr2.
Angular momentum L = Iω constant
Therefore, I increases and ω decreases.
