(c) On comparing with standard equation $\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{t^2}}} + {\omega ^2}y = 0$

we get ${\omega ^2} = K $

$\Rightarrow \omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T} = \sqrt K$

$\Rightarrow T = \frac{{2\pi }}{{\sqrt K }}$.

    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 spring constant of the wire in $N\;m\;rad^{-1}$. (Torsional spring constant $\alpha$ is defined by the relation $J=-\alpha \theta,$ where $J$ is the restoring couple and $\theta$ the angle of twist).
