Rotating disk Definition and 87 Threads

The Rotating disk viscometer, or "Mooney Machine" as it is sometimes referred to in the rubber industry, is the standard viscometer for measuring material viscosity and scorch time for rubber before vulcanization. It was developed in the 1930s by Melvin Mooney. For a specific temperature, scorch time describes how long it will take the material to vulcanize. For example, a scorch time at ambient temperature indicates the rubber will be able to remain unvulcanized at room temperature for an extended period of time.

    What determines the speed of two balls on a rotating disk?

    Homework Statement Homework Equations I=mr^{2} L=ωI ω=\frac{L}{I} The Attempt at a Solution I thought that since the moment of inertia was larger for the ball on the outside its angular speed would be slower. So then it would take longer to hit the wall.
