Question

What is the period T of a torsional pendulum with moment of inertia I and torsion constant K?
Options
A T = 2π√(K/I)
B T = 2π√(I/K)
Correct Answer
C T = (1/2π)√(I/K)
D T = 2π(K/I)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Equation 20 on page 10 states the period for a torsional pendulum as T = 2π√(I/K).

Hint

Refer to 'The Torsional Pendulum (Oscillator)' section for its period formula.
