A flywheel of moment of inertia 250 kg m^(2) is rotating at an angular speed of 12 rad s^(-1). What torque is needed to stop the wheel in 6 s ?

Answer»

500 NM
1000 Nm
1500 Nm
2000 Nm

Solution :`omega_(2)=12" rad/s, "omega=0,t=6s`
`THEREFORE alpha=(omega-omega_(0))/(t)=(0-12)/(6)=-2" rad/"s^(2)`
`therefore` retardation = `2" rad/"s^(2)`
`therefore` RETARDING TORQUE, `tau=Ialpha=250xx2=500Nm`
