AIIMS 2001 Physics Torque and Angular Acceleration MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Two masses are attached to a rod end to end. If torque is applied they rotate with angular acceleration α. If their distances are doubled and same torque is applied, then they move with angular acceleration

A

B

α

C

D

α/4

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Torque τ = Iα, where I is the moment of inertia. Doubling the distance quadruples I, so α is reduced by a factor of 4.
