A same torque is applied to a disc and a ring of equal mass and radii then

Options

  1. Athe ring will rotate with greater angular frequency.
  2. Bboth will rotate with same angular frequency.
  3. Cthe disc will rotate with greater angular frequency.
  4. Dboth will rotate with same angular velocity.

Correct answer

C. the disc will rotate with greater angular frequency.

Step-by-step solution

Rotational dynamics analysis shows that for a constant applied torque , the angular acceleration relates to moment of inertia I through = I . For identical mass and radius, a disc has I_ disc = 1 2 MR^2 while a ring has I_ ring = MR^2 , establishing I_ ring = 2I_ disc . With constant, I remains equal for both objects. Since I_ ring > I_ disc , it follows that _ disc > _ ring . From the inertia ratio, _ disc = 2 _ ring . Starting from rest, angular frequency evolves as = t . The disc's greater angular acceleration p
