The flywheel of an old-fashioned steam engine was running at constant angular sp

Question

The flywheel of an old-fashioned steam engine was running at constant angular speed, but then at t=0 the steam was shut off, and friction due to the bearings and the air gradually bring it to rest. During the spin-down, the angular velocity was observed to be w(t)= 39.3s^-1-(1.98x10^-4s^-3)t^2.



a) what was the initial constant angular speed in revolutions per minute?

b) after how many minutes does the wheel come to rest?

c) How many rotations does the wheel make before coming to rest?

d) What is the tangential linear acceleration of a point that is 50 cm from the axis of rotation at t=440 seconds?

e) What is the magnitude of total acceleration of that point at that time?

Explanation / Answer

Ok rate this as lifesaver first. I am sick and tired of people taking advantage of me. I spend 30 minutes to one hour posting a solution and then they just take the answer and dont rate it. Inbox me once you have rated it and I will send you the solution.
