Question

The period T of a torsional pendulum is given by:
Options
A T = 2π√(m/k)
B T = 2π√(I/K)
Correct Answer
C T = 2π√(L/g)
D T = 2π√(K/I)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Equation (20) on page 10 provides the formula for the period of a torsional pendulum as 'T = 2π√(I/K)'.

Hint

Compare this to the period of a mass-spring system, replacing linear quantities with their rotational counterparts.
