A torque of 60 N*m acts on a wheel of moment of inertia 30 kg*m^2 for 5 s and then is removed.

a) What is the angular acceleration of the wheel?
b) How many revolutions does it make in 15 s if it starts at rest?

1 answer

a) The angular acceleration of the wheel is 4 rad/s^2.
b) The wheel will make 6 revolutions in 15 s.
