A wheel is rotating at 900 rpm about its axis.When the power is cut-off it comes to rest in 1 min.The angular retardation in rad sā»Ā² is
Options
(a) šĀ / 2
(b) šĀ / 4
(c) šĀ / 6
(d) šĀ / 8
Correct Answer:
šĀ / 2
Explanation:
w = 900 x 2Ļ/60 = 30Ļ
Angular Retardation = [final velocity ā initial velocity] / time
= (30Ļ ā 0)/60 = Ļ/2
Therefore, the angular retardation is Ļ/2.
