Mass of the circular disc, m = 10 kg

Radius of the disc, r = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The torsional oscillation of the disc have a time period, T = 1.5 s

The moment of inertia of the disc I = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $r^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} * 10 * {0.15}^{2} \frac{k g}{m^{2}}$ = 0.1125 $\frac{k g}{m^{2}}$

Time period, T = 2 $? \sqrt{\frac{I}{?}}$ ,

Torsional spring constant, $? = \frac{4 ?^{2} I}{T^{2}} = \frac{4 {* ?}^{2} * 0.1125}{{1.5}^{2}}$ = 1.974 Nm/rad
