Rotational motion
Question

A ring and a disc of different masses are rotating with the same kinetic energy. If we apply a retarding torque T on the ring it stops after making n revolutions, then in how many revolutions will the disc stop under the same retarding torque?

Moderate
Solution

Work done in stopping = Change in KE = Final KE - Initial KE, 

i.e. τθ= K = constant. 

As τ is same in the two cases,θ must be same, i. e. number of revolution must be same.
