Dynamics of rotational motion about fixed axis
Question

A wheel of moment of inertia 2.0×103 kgm2 is rotating at uniform angular speed of 4 rads-1. What is the torque required to stop it in one second.

Easy
Solution

α = ωt = 0-41 =- 4 rad/s2

τ =  = 2×103 ×(-4) = -8 ×103N

-sign indicates retarding torque
