To stop the wheel, the tangential force will have to do an
amount of work equal to the initial rotational kinetic energy of the wheel.
ω =2•π•n = 2• π•950/60 rad/s
W = I•ω^2/2 = m•R^2• ω^2/4,
where ω =2•π•n = 2• π•950/60 rad/s.
The tangential force and the distance d = 0.5 m are unnecessary for calculation.
A uniform disk with a mass of 130 kg and a radius of 1.2 m rotates initially with an angular speed of 950 rev/min. A constant tangential force is applied at a radial distance
of 0.5 m.
How much work must this force do to stop the wheel?
