If the raw egg and boiled egg are subjected to spin on a table by applying the equal torque, then the egg that spins with the greater speed is
  1. raw egg
  2. boiled egg
  3. Both eggs have equal speed
  4. Both eggs never spin

Solution

When same torque is applied on boiled egg and on raw egg, the boiled egg would have higher spin than a raw egg. It is due to the fact that the raw egg resist to get its spin on account of its internal fluid. Thus, if the raw egg and boiled egg are subjected to spin on a table by applying the equal torque, then boiled egg spins with greater speed than raw egg.
