Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} as a_{r} = a_{t} \Rightarrow {Rω}^{2} = Rα \\ \Rightarrow α = \frac{dω}{dt} = ω^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{dω}{ω^{2}} = dt \\ \Rightarrow \int_{ω_{0}}^{ω} \frac{dω}{ω^{2}} = t, where ω_{0} = \frac{v_{0}}{R} = \frac{15}{600} = \frac{1}{40} rad / \sec \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ω_{0}} - \frac{1}{ω} = t \Rightarrow ω = \frac{1}{40 - t} = \frac{dθ}{dt} \\ \Rightarrow \int_{0}^{π / 2} dθ = \int_{0}^{t} \frac{dt}{40 - t} \Rightarrow \frac{π}{2} = [- \ln (40 - t)]_{0}^{t} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{π}{2} = \ln \frac{40}{40 - t} \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{t}{40} = e^{- π / 2} \Rightarrow t = 40 (1 - e^{- π / 2}) \end{array}$
