Question
An industrial flywheel (a solid disk) of mass 10.0 kg and radius 17.3 cm is rotating at an angular speed of 22.0 rad/s. Upon being switched to a slower setting, the flywheel uniformly slows down to 13.5 rad/s after rotating through an angle of 13.8 radians. Calculate the angular acceleration of the flywheel in the process of slowing down

Answer:
Explanation:
During slowing down , initial angular velocity ω₁ = 22 rad /s
final angular velocity ω₂ = 13.5 rad /s
using the law’s of motion formula for rotation
ω₂² = ω₁² + 2 αθ , α is angular acceleration and θ is angle in radian rotated during this period
13.5² = 22² – 2xα x 13.8
2xα x 13.8 = 484 – 182.25
α = 10.93 rad / s²
