Question
An airplane propeller is 2.18 m in length (from tip to tip) and has a mass of 102 kg. When the airplane’s engine is first started, it applies a constant net torque of 1950 N⋅m to the propeller, which starts from rest.What is the angular acceleration of the propeller? Treat the propeller as a slender rod.

Answer:
Explanation:
Moment of inertia of propeller
= (1/12) m l²
=( 1 / 12) x 102 x 2.18²
= 40.4 kgm²
torque = 1950 N-m
angular acceleration
= torque / moment of inertia
= 1950 / 40.4
= 48.26 rad / s²
