If the body is rotating with uniform angular velocity, then its torque is:
Correct answer: A. Zero
- A. Zero
- B. 90
- C. 1
- D. -1
Explanation
Torque will be zero because the force on the object is zero, since it is not accelerating. And also if the body is at rest or rotating with uniform angular velocity the angular acceleration will be zero in this case the torque acting on a body will be zero.Torque is given by solution i.e. torque = r.F sin (theta)Here force = maAcceleration is given by change in velocity/timeIf the change in velocity is zero, acceleration is zero, force is zero, thus torque is also zero. Any other value is not remotely possible

About Angular Velocity
Angular velocity describes how quickly angular displacement changes with time, with ω = Δθ/Δt and units of radians per second. Questions relate angular and linear motion through v = rω, use the direction given by the right hand rule, and distinguish angular velocity from angular acceleration and ordinary frequency.
