Torque
Question

If a constant torque of 5OO N-m turns a wheel of moment of inertia 1OO kg-m2 about an axis passing though its centre, then the gain in angular velocity in 2 sec. is

Moderate
Solution

τ=, where I=moment of inertia of wheel about an axis passing through its centre
But α=/dt, hence τ=I(/dt)
5u6s1i1uting the values, we get
500=1002  or  =10rad/sec
