Period of Vibration of Torsion Pendulum

[Felicity Wang]

Homework Statement

Given the period (T) and the moment of inertia (I), find the Torsion constant (K)
T= 1.32s
I= 0.0383 kgm^2

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

The answer is K=0.8678, I'm not really sure how to get the answer, but I think it has to do with the units.

That's a big equation! :-)

Are you at ease with algebra? You just need to plug in the values of T and I in the formula and then solve for K.

Haha just realized there was an error with my calculator. Thanks!
