If a disc of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) rotates with an angular acceleration \(a_{\text {, }}\) of the torque acting on the disc is

  1. A \(M R^2 a\)
  2. B \(\frac{M R^2 a}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2 M R^2 a}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{M R^2 a}{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{M R^2 a}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore\) Moment of inertia of disc, \(Y=\frac{1}{2} M R^2\) Angular acceleration, \(\alpha=a\) (given) So, torque \(\tau=Y \alpha\), \[ \tau=\left(\frac{1}{2} M R^2\right)\langle a\rangle \Rightarrow \tau=\frac{M R^2 a}{2} \]
