A thin annular metal disc of inner and outer radii R1 and R2  respectively, is freely suspended from a point on its outer circumference. The length of the corresponding equivalent simple pendulum is

Answer»

Correct option  (b)

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of annular disc about the axis under consideration can be written as m/2(R21 + R22) + mR22 Comparing the expression for the periodic time of this oscillating disc as a compound pendulum with that of a simple pendulum, we get the equivalent length.
