In a flat collar pivot bearing, the moment due to friction is proportional to
A
$$\frac{{{\text{r}}_1^2 - {\text{r}}_2^2}}{{{{\text{r}}_1} - {{\text{r}}_2}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{{\text{r}}_1^2 - {\text{r}}_2^2}}{{{{\text{r}}_1} + {{\text{r}}_2}}}$$
C
$$\frac{{{\text{r}}_1^3 - {\text{r}}_2^3}}{{{\text{r}}_1^2 - {\text{r}}_2^2}}$$
D
$$\frac{{{\text{r}}_1^3 - {\text{r}}_2^3}}{{{{\text{r}}_1} - {{\text{r}}_2}}}$$
Correct Answer: $$\frac{{{\text{r}}_1^3 - {\text{r}}_2^3}}{{{\text{r}}_1^2 - {\text{r}}_2^2}}$$
