Find expression for torsional constant in terms of moment


A thin metal disk of mass m=2.00 x 10^-3 kg and radius R=2.20cm is attached at its center to a long fiber. When the disk is turned from the relaxed state through a small angle theta, the torque exerted by the fiber on the disk is proportional to theta. Find an expression for the torsional constant k in terms of the moment of inertia I of the disk and the angular frequency w of small, free oscillations. The disk, when twisted and released, oscillates with a period T of 1.00 s. Find the torsional constant k of the fiber.
