A CD has a mass of 15.0 g, an inner diameter of 1.5 cm, and an outer diameter of 11.9 cm. Suppose you toss it, causing it to spin at a rate of 4.3 revolutions per second.

a)Determine the moment of inertia of the CD, approximating its density as uniform.


b)If your fingers were in contact with the CD for 0.25 revolutions while it was acquiring its angular velocity and applied a constant torque to it, what was the magnitude of that torque?
