A triangular plate of uniform thickness and density is made to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the paper and (i) passing through 
, (ii) passing through 
, by the application of some force 
at 
(midpoint of 
) as shown in the figure. In which case angular acceleration is more?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
We can see that torque in both cases is 
. But in case (ii) moment of inertia is less. So angular acceleration is more in case (ii).
