    Two cylinders A and B of the same material have same length, their radii being in the ratio 1:2 respectively. The two are joined end to end as shown. One end of cylinder A is rigidly clamped while free end of cylinder B is twisted through an angle 9. The angle of twist of cylinder A is           

    A) \[\frac{16}{17}\theta \]

    B) \[\frac{15}{16}\theta \]

    C) \[8\theta \]

    D) \[\frac{3}{2}\theta \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[{{\theta }_{1}}\]and \[{{\theta }_{2}}\]are the angle of twist produced in cylinders A and B respectively. Given, \[{{\theta }_{1}}+{{\theta }_{2}}=\theta \]        ?(i) On being in series, the torque acts at their free ends are equal. We have \[\tau =\frac{\pi \eta {{r}^{4}}\theta }{2\ell }\] \[\therefore \frac{\pi \eta {{r}^{4}}{{\theta }_{1}}}{2\ell }=\frac{\pi \eta {{(2r)}^{4}}{{\theta }_{2}}}{2\ell }\Rightarrow {{\theta }_{1}}=16{{\theta }_{2}}\]     ? (ii) From (i) and (ii), we have \[{{\theta }_{1}}=\frac{16}{17}\theta \]
