Question
A grinding wheel is in the form of a uniform solid disk of radius 6.99 cm and mass 2.08 kg. It starts from rest and accelerates uniformly under the action of the constant torque of 0.591 N · m that the motor exerts on the wheel.(a) How long does the wheel take to reach its final operating speed of 1 230 rev/min? s(b) Through how many revolutions does it turn while accelerating? revNeed Help?

Answer:
A) 1.11 secs
B) 11.41 revolutions
Explanation:
A) We are given final operating speed; ω_f = 1230rev/min = 1230 x 2π/60 rad/s = 128.81 rad/s
Torque; τ = 0.591 N
Mass;m = 2.08 kg
radius; r = 6.99 cm = 0.0699m
Let’s now find the acceleration from;
torque = inertia x acceleration
Inertia = (1/2)mr²
Thus;
τ = (½)(mr²)a
So,
0.591 = ½(2.08 x 0.0699²)a
0.591 = 0.00508a
a = 116.34rad/s²
using the equation of rotational motion;
ω_f = ω_i + at
ω_i is initial angular velocity and it’s zero.
Thus;
128.81 = 0 + 116.34t
128.81 = 116.34t
t = 1.11secs
B) the number of revolutions will be calculated from;
θ = (ω_i)t + ½at²
θ = 0(1.81) + ½(116.34)(1.11)²
θ = ½(116.34)(1.11)²
θ = 71.671257 rad
Let’s convert it to revs
θ = 71.671257 ÷ 2π
θ = 11.41 revolutions
