Answer #1

Hello and thank you for your question

Let's pick up the data and make a quick drawing:

Now let's solve it first of all let's recall the net torque formula:

Being


This is the moment of inertia for a disk.

the angular acceleration

Therefore our final formula would be:


If this helps leave positive feedback please :) Good luck!

5. A wheel starts from rest and accelerates in such a way that its angular speed increases uniformly to 200 rpm in 60 s. After you have been spinning for some time at this speed the brakes are applied and the wheel takes 5 minutes to stop. If the total number of revolutions of the wheel is 3100, calculate the total time of rotation.
