Solution

Steel would have the highest inertia.

  1. Mass and inertia depend upon each other.
  2. If the object possesses higher inertia, then it has a high mass.
  3. The solid of the same shape and volume, having more mass than other solids will have the highest inertia.
  4. Compared to aluminium and wood steel has the highest density and highest mass. Therefore steel solid would have the highest inertia.
