Question
A solid sphere of diameter \(50 cm\) and mass \(25 kg\) rotates about an axis through its centre. Calculate its moment of inertia. If its angular velocity changes from \(2 rad / s\) to \(1 rad / s\) in 5 seconds, calculate the torque applied.

Answer

I \(=0.625 kg \cdot m ^2 ; \tau=1.25 N \cdot m\)

You have already studied in earlier classes that a short bar magnet suspended freely always aligns in North South direction. Now if you try to forcefully move and bring it in the direction along East West and leave it free, you will observe that the magnet starts turning about the axis of suspension. Do you know from where does the torque which is necessary for rotational motion come from? (as studied in rotational dynamics a torque is necessary for rotational motion).
