Acircular disc of mass 10 kg is suspended by a wire attached to itscentre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. Theperiod of torsional oscillations is found to be 1.5 s. The radius ofthe disc is 15 cm. Determine the torsional springconstant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant α is definedby the relation J=–α θ,where Jisthe restoring couple and θthe angle of twist).

A
circular disc of mass 10 kg 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 1.5 s. The radius of
the disc is 15 cm. Determine the torsional s

constant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant α is defined
by the relation
J
=

θ,
where
J
is
the restoring couple and
θ
the angle of twist).
