Q.
If the polar moment of inertia is increased to four times, then what will be the effect on free torsional vibrations of a single rotor system?
Answer & Explanation
In case of torsional vibration,
Fn=(1/2π) * √(GJ / IL)
Where J is polar moment of inertia. Therefore we can say vibration frequency depends on square root of polar moment of inertia. Hence it will increase 2 times.
Thus correct option is: B.
