NEETPhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A flywheel of moment of inertia 50 kg m ^2 starts from rest. If it attains an angular velocity of 20 rad/s in 4 s , the constant torque applied to it is
Options
- A1000 N m
- B250 N m
- C10 N m
- D4000 N m
Correct answer
B. 250 N m
Step-by-step solution
Given, initial angular velocity _i = 0 Final angular velocity _f = 20 rad/s Time t = 4 s Using the first equation of rotational kinematics: _f = _i + t 20 = 0 + (4) = 5 rad/s ^2 The required constant torque is given by: = I = 50 5 = 250 N m Answer: 250 N m
