Consider the torsional oscillator in Figure P11.30. The rotating mass consists of two small spheres, each of mass m = 2.0 kg, that are attached to the ends of a mass less rod of length L = 1.5 m. The frequency of this torsional oscillator is found to be 0.035 Hz. What is the value of the torsion constant k of the torsion fiber?
