Answer

$\omega \approx 0.181rad/s$

Work Step by Step

Angular frequency($\omega$) of the torsion pendulum is given by; $\omega = \sqrt\frac{k}{I}$ where k is the torsion constant and I the moment of inertia about the torsion axis. putting $k = \tau/\theta = 0.024 \frac{N.m}{rad}$ and $I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2 = 0.735 kg.m^2$ from the previous parts we get; $\omega = \sqrt\frac{0.024}{0.735}rad/s \approx 0.181 rad/s$
