8. A torsional pendulum consists of a solid disk (mass = 2.0 kg, radius = 1.0 m) suspended by a wire attached to a rigid support. The body oscillates about the support wire. If the torsion constant is 16 N·m/rad. What is the angular frequency (in rad/s)?

1. During the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pelee in 1902, an incredibly hot "burning cloud" rolled down the mountain and incinerated the town of Saint-Pierre. From the damage done, the temperature in the cloud was estimated at 700°C. If the air temperature was 20°C and a mole of air is 29 grams, estimate the molecular weight of the gas in the "burning cloud" that made it heavier than the surrounding air. (As a follow-on, estimate the most probable composition of the cloud. Some typical volcanic gases are H₂S, SO₂, H₂SO₄, CO₂, NO.)
