Equal torques are applied on a cylinder...

Equal torques are applied on a cylinder and a sphere. Both have same mass and radius rotates about its axis and sphere rotates about one of its diameter. Which will rotates acquire greater speed and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`tau=I , alpha, alpha=(tau)/(I)`
`alpha` in cylinder, `alpha_(C)=(tau)/(I_(C))`
`alpha` in sphere, `alpha_(s)=(tau)/(I_(S))`
`(alpha_(C))/(alpha_(S))=(I_(S))/(I_(C))=((2)/(5)MR^(2))/(MR^(2))=(2)/(3)`
