Question 14.23:

A circular disc of mass is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be The radius of the disc is . Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant is defined by the relation , where J is the restoring couple and the angle of twist) .

Mass of the circular disc,

The torsional oscillations of the disc has a time period,

The moment of inertia of the disc is:

Time period,

is the torsional constant.

Hence, the torsional spring constant of the wire is
